Raiden Cleaver Knife

Wide, flat and unhurried. This vegetable cleaver carries enough spine to push through squash and split a bone-in thigh, then ferries the pile straight to the pan. Forged and finished in Seki, Japan.

Features

• The tall cheek doubles as a scoop, lifting a whole board's worth of prep in one motion.
• Extra weight along 7 inches of edge does the splitting work a lighter blade would have to saw at.
• A flat, level edge tracks straight through wide cuts without wandering off line.
• The core steel is VG-10, heat-treated until the Rockwell tester reads 60 ±2, which keeps sharpening sessions rare.
• 67 layers of Damascus cladding surface as a flowing grain that no two blades repeat.
• At close to 9 oz, the extra heft is what gets it through dense cuts, not brute force from the wrist.

Ebony in an octagonal wa grip, the same rosewood collar and turquoise ring as the rest of the Raiden line.
