Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver 18cm
A 180mm Shun Classic vegetable cleaver: a wide-bladed, Chinese-style all-rounder for vegetables, fruit and boneless proteins.
Sometimes called a Chinese cleaver, this broad, squared knife is a multi-purpose blade. It is especially useful for vegetables, including large ones like cabbage.
It is also nimble enough to slice fruit and a full range of proteins. The thin Shun blade keeps it easy to handle despite its size. It is not designed for joints or bones.
Features
- Wide Squared Blade – Cuts large vegetables and scoops prepped food off the board.
- VG-MAX Core – Kai’s proprietary VG-MAX steel forms the cutting edge, hardened to 60 HRC.
- Damascus Cladding – 34 stainless Damascus layers each side are ground and bead-blasted to reveal a flowing pattern.
- 16° Hand-Sharpened Edge – Each side is sharpened by hand to 16° for a fine, clean cut.
- D-Shaped PakkaWood Handle – Ebony-toned PakkaWood fills the curl of the fingers for a secure grip. The D-shape suits right-handed users.
