7" Butcher's Cleaver - Lan Series (B37)

Meet the master of precision and versatility. The 7-inch Santoku, or "three virtues" knife, is the beloved Japanese all-rounder. It's designed to excel at slicing, dicing, and mincing, making it a favorite for fast, efficient prep and a perfect high-performance alternative to a traditional chef knife.

The Santoku Advantage

Unlike a curved Western chef knife, the Santoku's flatter profile is built for a fast, efficient "push-cutting" motion. This gives you laser-precise results, paper-thin slices of vegetables, and makes quick work of fish and proteins. It's nimble, balanced, and a true joy to use for all your daily prep.

The Powder Steel Advantage

The "LAN" series is built for incredible performance. At its heart is a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core, an advanced steel that is incredibly hard and fine-grained. This means it can be sharpened to a steeper, more acute angle—and it holds that razor edge far longer than conventional steels. The core is then wrapped in 73 layers of beautiful Damascus steel for added protection and a stunning, unique finish.

Balanced for Comfort

A great knife is an extension of your hand. The hand-polished olive wood handle has an organic, flowing shape, providing a naturally comfortable, ergonomic grip for balanced control. Each handle has its own unique grain, making your knife truly one-of-a-kind.

Stop crushing your beautiful, crusty loaves. This 8.5-inch serrated knife is engineered to glide through the toughest crusts and the softest brioche, giving you a clean, beautiful slice with zero compression. It's a high-performance tool that's also perfect for tomatoes, cakes, and tough rinds.

The Powder Steel Advantage

What makes a better bread knife? An edge that lasts. The serrated points on a knife are what do the work, and they can't be easily re-sharpened. That's why we built this blade on a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core, an advanced, ultra-hard steel that holds its sharp edge far, far longer than conventional knives. The core is then wrapped in 73 layers of beautiful Damascus steel for added protection.

Balanced for Comfort

Reach for this set when you want the whole Lan Series story in one box. Five knives. One shared material, nothing wasted. Whether you're setting up a new kitchen or replacing a battered block you've outgrown, this is the set that covers everything from breaking down a whole chicken to peeling an apple at the bench.

What's in the Set

• 8.5" Chef Knife: Your daily go-to. Rock-chop a pile of onions for a ragu, butterfly a chicken thigh, or work through a dense butternut without the blade tipping forward.
• 8.5" Bread Knife: Stop crushing your loaves. The serrated edge glides through a crusty sourdough or soft brioche with zero compression, and handles tomatoes and cakes just as cleanly.
• 7" Santoku: The push-cut specialist. Flat profile shines when you're slicing zucchini into even coins, shaving radish paper-thin, or working through a pile of mushrooms.
• 5" Utility Knife: The in-between blade. Trim silverskin off a pork fillet, halve a peach, or slice a small roma without reaching for the chef knife.
• 3.5" Paring Knife: The in-hand blade. Segment citrus, hull strawberries, peel a mango close to the stone -- jobs where a long blade just gets in the way.

One Material Story, Five Blades

Every knife in the set shares the same 73-layer Damascus construction with a 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. That hardness is what separates powder steel from conventional stainless: the edge takes a more acute angle and holds it through long prep sessions, so you're not reaching for a honing rod halfway through a Sunday cook. The flowing Damascus pattern is different on every blade. The polished olive wood handles are each unique too -- natural grain, comfortable in a pinch grip or a full wrap.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core
• Hardness: 62-64 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 5-piece set: 8.5" Chef, 8.5" Bread, 7" Santoku, 5" Utility, 3.5" Paring
• Handle: Polished olive wood (hidden tang)
• Use: A complete daily prep lineup covering rock-chopping, push-cutting, slicing, and in-hand work.
• Series: Lan Series (B37)
• Model: B37-A5

Complete Your Set

Add the Lan Series 10" Carving Knife (B37-QR) for presenting a roast at the table, or the Lan Series 7" Nakiri (B37-XC) if vegetable prep is a big part of your weekly routine.

Reach for this at the table, not the prep board. The 5-inch Lan Series Steak Knife is there for the moment a guest cuts into a rested ribeye and needs the blade to do the work, not the pressure of their hand. A sharp steak knife respects the cook's effort. This one has the steel to back it up.

Sharp Where It Matters

The 5-inch blade is the right length for at-table work: long enough for a full steak, short enough to stay controlled. The 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core is vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC, so the edge stays keen through dinner for a full table of guests. You won't reach for the honing rod between courses. The 73-layer Damascus cladding protects the core and gives each blade a flowing pattern that looks as good on the table as it cuts.

Olive Wood at the Table

The polished olive wood handle feels at home at a dinner setting. Each handle has its own grain, so no two look the same. The hidden tang keeps the balance point close to the hand, which means the knife doesn't tip forward awkwardly when you're cutting at an angle on a plate.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core
• Hardness: 62-64 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 5-inch steak knife
• Handle: Polished olive wood (hidden tang)
• Use: At-table steak cutting and serving, grilled proteins, and any scenario where a sharp dinner knife matters.
• Series: Lan Series (B37)
• Model: B37-NP

Complete Your Set

Pair with the Lan Series 8.5" Chef Knife (B37-CS) for the cook's side of the meal, and the Lan Series 10" Carving Knife (B37-QR) for presenting a roast before it reaches the table.

Reach for this when the job moves into your hand. Segmenting an orange, hulling strawberries -- these are the moments where a chef knife becomes unwieldy and a 3.5-inch paring knife is exactly the right tool. Short. Responsive and in control.

Small Blade, Total Control

The 3.5-inch blade stays in the hand while the food moves around it, which is the whole point. You're not anchoring it to a board and rocking. You're working a peach around the blade, trimming silverskin off a tenderloin, or cutting the eyes out of a potato without removing a chunk of good flesh. The hidden tang keeps the balance close to the grip so the tip doesn't wander when you're working at a precise angle.

The Powder Steel Advantage

The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. A hard edge on a paring knife is worth more per square centimetre than on any other blade in the kitchen, because you're working right against your hand and a sharp blade needs less pressure. The 73 layers of Damascus cladding protect the core and match the rest of your Lan Series collection. The polished olive wood handle is comfortable in a pinch grip or a full wrap, depending on the job.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core
• Hardness: 62-64 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 3.5-inch paring knife
• Handle: Polished olive wood (hidden tang)
• Use: In-hand peeling and trimming, segmenting citrus, hulling soft fruit, and close work where a long blade gets in the way.
• Series: Lan Series (B37)
• Model: B37-SG

Complete Your Set

Pair with the Lan Series 8.5" Chef Knife (B37-CS) for board work, and the Lan Series 7" Santoku (B37-RS) when you need precise push-cuts through vegetables before switching to in-hand work.

Reach for this when you're halving cherry tomatoes for a salad, peeling the silverskin off a pork tenderloin, or slicing through stone fruit without the chef knife feeling like overkill. It sits between a paring knife and a chef knife. Short enough to stay nimble in hand, long enough to actually move across the board.

The Daily Go-Between

This is the knife your chef knife can't replace and your paring knife won't reach. Cherry tomatoes need a blade long enough to push through cleanly. Small citrus fruits need control you don't get at 8.5 inches. The narrow profile keeps it out of the way during close work, so you're not fighting blade width when you're trimming or peeling.

Powder Steel Where It Counts

The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. That hardness is what you want on a fine-edged utility knife. It stays sharp through the kind of light, repetitive prep that dulls a softer blade well before lunch. The olive wood handle sits comfortably in a pinch grip without bulk getting in the way.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core
• Hardness: 62-64 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 5-inch utility knife
• Handle: Polished Olive Wood (Hidden Tang)
• Use: Halving cherry tomatoes, trimming silverskin, peeling small fruits, and any prep where your chef knife has too much blade.
• Series: LAN (B37)
• Model: B37-WY

Complete Your Set

Pair it with the Lan Series 8.5" Chef Knife for the heavy board work, and the Lan Series 7" Santoku for fast push-cut vegetable prep where this utility knife is too short to cover the board.

Reach for this when a bone-in lamb shoulder or a whole chicken is between you and dinner. The 6.5-inch Lan Series Bone Chopper is built narrow and heavy where it counts: thick spine and short profile, all the momentum aimed at the joint. One confident stroke through the rib, not five frustrated ones.

Built for the Joint

A bone chopper earns its place in the drawer by mass. This one carries a thick, heavy spine that drives the edge through cartilage and small bones cleanly, so the meat doesn't bruise from repeated hacking. The short 6.5-inch profile keeps it controllable over the board, and the hidden tang runs the full length of the handle so the weight sits right behind your grip where you need it.

Hard Enough to Hold an Edge

The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. That's an unusual hardness on a bone knife and it matters: softer cleavers roll and dent on repeated impact, then need constant sharpening. The 73 layers of Damascus cladding add chip resistance on the shoulder of the blade, which is where most of the shock lands. The polished olive wood handle gives a secure grip even when your hands are wet from breaking down a whole bird.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core
• Hardness: 62-64 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 6.5-inch bone chopper
• Handle: Polished olive wood (hidden tang)
• Use: Splitting poultry carcasses, cleaving through small bone-in joints, portioning ribs.
• Series: Lan Series (B37)
• Model: B37-KG

Complete Your Set

Pair it with the Lan Series 8.5" Chef Knife (B37-CS) for the prep work once the joints are split, and the Lan Series 10" Carving Knife (B37-QR) for clean long slices off a roast.

Reach for this when a whole cabbage needs splitting in one clean stroke, or you want to scoop a pile of sliced ginger straight from the board into the wok. The 7.5-inch Lan Series Cleaver is a Chinese-style vegetable cleaver. Broad and flat-ground, surprisingly light on its feet. It's not for bones. It's for everything else.

Broad Blade, Fast Work

The wide flat blade is what makes a vegetable cleaver different from anything else in the drawer. You can push-cut through a full butternut squash with the length of the edge in one motion, then scoop the pieces off the board with the flat side. That's two moves instead of five. The thin grind also means it glides through dense produce like daikon or sweet potato without the blade wedging and forcing the food apart.

The Powder Steel Advantage

The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. That's a serious hardness number on a cleaver, which matters because a hard edge stays sharp through the kind of repetitive chopping this blade sees. The 73 layers of Damascus cladding protect the shoulder of the blade and give each knife a flowing pattern that's different on every piece. The polished olive wood handle sits naturally in a full grip whether you're chopping through a pile of shallots or working through a stack of flat beans.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core
• Hardness: 62-64 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 7.5-inch Chinese-style vegetable cleaver
• Handle: Polished olive wood (hidden tang)
• Use: Splitting cabbages, slicing daikon and squash, scooping prep off the board into the pan.
• Series: Lan Series (B37)
• Model: B37-DC

Complete Your Set

Pair it with the Lan Series 8.5" Chef Knife (B37-CS) for everyday prep, and the Lan Series 7" Santoku (B37-RS) when you want a lighter push-cut blade for fish and herbs.

Your Lan Series knives are running on 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC. That hardness is what gives you the edge. A sharpening rod in the same material family keeps it there between sessions, realigning the edge before it has a chance to roll. Two minutes before you cook, not a full sharpening session after.

Maintain the Edge You Paid For

Honing and sharpening are different things. Sharpening removes steel; honing realigns the microscopic edge that folds over with use. A high-quality rod does the second job fast, so your blade bites cleanly through tomato skin and doesn't push and compress. This rod is matched to the Lan Series blades and keeps the edge geometry honest between stone sessions.

Specifications

• Use: Honing and edge realignment for Lan Series knives between sharpening sessions.
• Series: Lan Series (B37)
• Model: B37-MDB

Reach for this when a whole snapper is on the board and you need the blade to follow the skeleton without tearing the flesh. The narrow profile bends into the contour of the fish, and that flex is what lets you work around pin bones in a salmon fillet or pull the skin off a piece of barramundi in a single clean stroke. It won't do what a chef knife does. That's the point.

Flexible Precision

A fillet knife lives or dies on two things: edge retention and flex. Too stiff and you're fighting the bone; too soft and the edge is gone before the second fish. The 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core holds a fine edge at 62-64 HRC, so you can feel every pin bone as the blade moves through and stay on the right side of the rib cage without forcing it. The narrow blade keeps drag low and lets you reposition quickly when the flesh starts to pull.

73-Layer Damascus Over Powder Steel

Wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus cladding, the blade resists corrosion through a session where water and fish acid are a constant. The olive wood handle is hand-polished and stays comfortable even when your grip is wet. Hidden tang keeps the profile slim so it doesn't add unnecessary weight out toward the tip, where you want the blade to move, not resist.

Specifications

• Blade Steel: 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core
• Hardness: 62-64 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
• Blade Profile: 7-inch fillet knife, narrow flexible blade
• Handle: Polished Olive Wood (Hidden Tang)
• Use: Breaking down whole snapper, removing skin from salmon, working around pin bones, and any fish work where you need a blade that bends with the contour of the fish.
• Series: LAN (B37)
• Model: B37-YD

Complete Your Set

Pair it with the Lan Series 8.5" Chef Knife for portioning and board work once the fish is broken down, and the Lan Series 10" Carving Knife for presenting whole roasts or larger cuts at the table.
