I got this knife for Christmas as a gift, so it will not be indicated as Verified. The "Schenkerin" has also bought the knife from Amazon and could say about the delivery and packaging anything negative. We come to the knife itself. The Tim Mälzer Edition comes very valuable therefore, beautifully packaged in a little "wooden box". The knife itself not only makes a high impression, you see him to be very special to something formally. The weighting alone is absolutely outrageous. Lightweight, totally portable and really fucking hot. Forget razors and the like - you have something in his hand is nearly as sharp. First of all, this knife is cutting everything you want to process in the kitchen for. And precisely because the knife is to cut all able to hear a little bit of respect and caution when handling it. At home, the knife is also running in "competition" with a 16.5 cm Yari of WMF and a 20 cm Chef's knife (class Plus) of WMF. They are both not bad and also not the cheapest knife - but these come nowhere near to the Santoku Kai Shun zoom. Be it the design, the weight, the balance - or just the quality that one can imagine at first glance. This knife has clearly in all areas in the lead. No matter what you cut, it is easy and without great pressure. All the gadgets like very soft tomato, hairs from the arm or a paper which is kept only slightly - the knife has done everything without problems. What is much more excites me the performance, which provides the knife in the daily handling. It cuts as has been said more than sharp and thus enables to cut incredibly fine writing - whether in raw potatoes or mushrooms, you always get an absolutely clean cut. With the right technology, this knife cuts almost saying force is not necessary - another huge plus. Anyone who has ever allowed to process ingredients for Hungarian goulash for 12 people, know what I mean. This knife is a premium product quality and to the smallest detail a masterful "tool" in the kitchen. We are already talking about us bit by bit against the Kai Shun knives should replace not all other knives in the kitchen. With proper handling and care will provide you with this knife certainly have a lot of fun very long time. Although the very steep price, but Quality has also usually its price. And here this is absolutely justified.
