Description: This vegetable cleaver was made by Canadian bladesmith Casey Vilensky. Casey creates exquisitely forged mosaic damascus and integral chef’s knives. He favors Japanese-inspired knives for the ultra-fine cutting edge he’s able to achieve.
Vegetable cleavers are ideal for vegetables and noodles. The thin edge geometry makes it a precision tool, rather than a replacement for a Western meat cleaver. The tall height is great for moving food from the cutting board to the pot.
The blade is meticulously forged mosaic damascus, combining 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels. The pattern combines an exceptionally high layer count background (125,000 layers!!) with a bolder pattern in the foreground. The result is damascus that is visible from a distance and demands close examination. The bolster is integral to the blade, with the pattern moving seamlessly from blade into the bolster.
The ambidextrous Japanese-inspired octagonal handle is stabilized amboyna burl. A vintage Micarta spacer assists the octagonal handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes.
This knife has exceptional balance and you'll find yourself using it for all sorts of tasks around the kitchen. This is a knife you won't want to put down! Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
