The Santoku knife 17 cm  KAI  KAMAGATA Tim Mälzeris a beautiful, Asian-inspired knife. 

The Santoku bōchō (Japanese: 三徳包丁; "three virtues" or "three uses") is shorter, lighter, thinner, and more hardened (to compensate for thinness) than a traditional Western chef's knife.
The three cutting tasks which the knife performs well are: slicing, dicing, and mincing.

The Tim Mälzer Kamagata series of kitchen knives makes an impact with its high standard of functionality, robust quality and minimalist aesthetics. With its clean-lined design, the knife collection focuses on the essentials required for efficient processes in the kitchen. At the beginning of the multi-year development process in Japan, Tim Mälzer designed the original blade shape himself. 

The stylish curve of the blade gives the knives their characteristic contour. The name "Kamagata" (Japanese for "sickle-shaped") is derived from this distinctive shape. The blades are made of stainless steel with a polished finish. In combination with the black handle, the knives have an efficient, cool look and guarantee excellent handling and ergonomic features. Thanks to the special coordination of the different blade shapes, the Tim Mälzer Kamagata series provides the right knife for every purpose.
