Shun Classic 7" Chinese Vegetable Cleaver

The Shun Classic Chinese Vegetable Cleaver is a large squared knife with a very wide blade. Every part of it can be put to use. The edge is used to chop vegetables, especially larger ones such as cabbage, which are frequently a part of Chinese cuisine. The flat surface of the blade makes a great tool for smashing garlic cloves or ginger. The cleaver feels solid, but Shun's thinner blade makes it easy to handle so food preparation is a pleasure.<br /><br />The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. The razor-sharp blades offer top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel provides incredible edge retention. Blades are handcrafted of durable clad with Damascus stainless steel, ground and bead-blasted creating a flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to hold. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.
