Wood, simplicity, effectiveness: Opinel has drawn on its roots and expertise to create the Parallèle range of kitchen knives. The beech handle, sturdy and soft in the palm of the hand, with simple and softened lines, guarantees a comfortable grip and an inimitable touch. The blade profiles have been designed to optimize the gesture and guarantee a perfect cut suitable for all foods.

Materials:

Blade: Made of full-tang stainless steel, with a hardness of 55-57 HRC. The steel used guarantees high resistance to corrosion and excellent mechanical performance. The smooth blade has an excellent cutting edge, easily resharpened, which maintains its effectiveness even after use with hard materials such as ceramic.

Handle: Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. Coming from French crops, it is hard, resistant and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light colour varies from yellow to pink. It is recognisable by the presence of numerous dark lines. The handle is painted to be effectively protected from dirt and humidity.

Features: The 2.5 mm thick blade is also useful in the kitchen for cutting meat, cold cuts, large fruit and vegetables.

Blade length: 300mm.
Blade thickness: 2.5mm.
Total length: 290mm.
Weight: 88g.

Maintenance: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the quality of the wood and the blade. Stainless steel offers reduced maintenance, but it is preferable to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acids, salt water, detergents).

Advantages:

Long-lasting cutting edge and easily resharpenable.
Ergonomic and resistant handle, for a comfortable grip.

For the trend-setting Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series, Kai has developed six additional knives made from corrosion-resistant 32-layer damask steel. It is embellished with a hand-hammered surface which in Japan is known as Tsuchime, thus combining timeless aesthetic qualities with ultimate sharpness. The blades have a massive core of VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61±1 HRC. 

In analogy to the limited Anniversary Knife, great importance was attached also in this series to the knives providing optimum grip as well as extraordinary hardness. The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series, from bread knife to santoku, provides professional cutting tools which will set new standards in the premium segment by providing exceptional performance in a timeless design. 

True to Tim Mälzer‘s premise, „A good knife not only makes work easier but also helps to make cooking to turn out well“, each of the carefully manufactured damask knives was meticulously adapted to its respective area of use by the Japanese master forgers from Seki City. Due to the particularly symmetrical shape of their walnut handle, all shapes moreover ensure a precise cutting performance for both right-handed as well as left-handed use.
