DESCRIPTION

Reach for this when you're working through a pile of napa cabbage or slicing a block of firm tofu into even planks. The Chinese cleaver's wide rectangular blade lets you scoop everything straight off the board and into the wok without touching the bench twice. It looks like too much knife until it's in your hand. Then it's hard to put down.

The Rectangular Blade Advantage

A Chinese cleaver isn't a bone chopper. It's a vegetable knife with a flat, broad blade that moves fast through brassicas and dense root vegetables alike. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60±2 HRC, so the edge holds through a long prep session where a softer blade would dull mid-pile. Wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus cladding, the spine is also wide enough to crush a garlic clove flat before you start chopping.

Linen Micarta Handle, Full-Tang Build

The linen Micarta handle doesn't absorb vegetable moisture or loosen near a sink. It grips whether your hands are dry or damp from washing produce. Full-tang construction means one bar of steel runs from the tip of the blade to the butt of the handle, so the balance point sits further back than you'd expect for a blade this wide. It's nimble once you're moving.
