Shaped with a cleaver-inspired profile and built on disciplined Japanese metalworking principles, this chef's knife brings clarity, balance and control to everyday kitchen tasks. The broad blade supports deliberate, confident cuts, especially with vegetables and larger ingredients.
The 7.1-inch (18 cm) blade is made from layered steel for lasting durability and a dependable, stable edge. A subtle surface texture adds visual depth while helping with smooth slicing and controlled chopping across many prep jobs. The blade is left uncoated for a clean, direct cutting feel.
The pakkawood handle is contoured to sit comfortably and securely in your hand. Its well-balanced connection to the blade gives steady handling and measured movement, even through long cooking sessions.
At 14.2 inches (36 cm) overall, the knife is evenly weighted to encourage fluid, controlled motion. Made for daily use, it stays quietly in the background of your kitchen, its construction best appreciated through steady, thoughtful cooking.
