TRY A SHUN VEGETABLE CLEAVER FOR AN AMAZINGLY VERSATILE CUTTING EXPERIENCE

The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver, sometimes known as a Chinese 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. Yet some cooks find their cleaver nimble enough for almost every kind of chopping and slicing. The flat of the blade makes a great tool for smashing garlic cloves or ginger, too. The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver feels solid, but Shun’s thinner blade makes it easy to handle so food preparation is a pleasure. Please do NOT use the Vegetable Cleaver on joints, bones, or meat. The Meat Cleaver is made for that.

The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery. The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the 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 behold. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.

Born of the ancient Samurai sword making tradition and hand-finished for precision and beauty, Shun Classic is the ideal line for anyone making their first foray into the Japanese knife market.

High Quality Steel

Shun Classic knives boast a cutting-edge VG-MAX core, the newest addition to the VG line of "super steels."

The knife's core is supported and protected by a stunning Damascus cladding consisting of 34 micro layers, which not only enhances its appearance but also provides additional strength and durability.

Outstanding Sharpness

Shun knives excel with thinner, lighter, and sharper blades. The 16° cutting angle per side (32° comprehensive) achieves outstanding sharpness and accuracy, enhancing your cutting efficiency and longevity.

Traditional Techniques

Showcasing traditional handcrafting techniques. These knives feature a striking hamon, an alluring wavy line where the different steels meet. The blades are meticulously ground to a quick taper edge, allowing for swift and efficient food movement.

PakkaWood Handle

Its contoured design offers a comfortable and secure grip for both right-handed and left-handed users. The handle's end cap adds balance and enhances its aesthetic appeal.
