Know before you buy
This knife features a wider, rectangular blade profile that acts like a bench scraper, allowing you to easily scoop up chopped ingredients. While it excels at slicing and dicing, it is generally lighter and thinner than a traditional cleaver, making it more agile for precise vegetable prep.
While the high-carbon stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, we recommend hand washing and drying the knife immediately after use. Dishwashers can dull the edge prematurely and the high heat can damage the handle rivets over time.
Ice-hardening is a process where the steel is cooled to sub-zero temperatures to improve its molecular structure. This results in a blade that is harder, more flexible, and better at maintaining a sharp edge through frequent use.
Yes, the ergonomic three-rivet handle is designed for a secure, comfortable grip. The shape is balanced to prevent slipping, though as with any kitchen tool, it is best practice to keep your hands dry while working.
No, this knife is designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables and boneless meats. Using it on bones or frozen items can chip or damage the fine edge of the blade.
