DURABLE HANDLE DESIGN
The meticulously constructed, triple-riveted G10 handle has gone through special treatment, making it extremely impervious to heat, cold, and moisture.

INCREDIBLE SHARPNESS
The ruthlessly sharp edge is handcrafted by seasoned artisans to a mirror polish at 8-12° double sided using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method; cryogenically treated for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.

ERGONOMIC & WELL-BALANCED
The extra-wide and slightly curved blade ensures the Damascus cleaver knife slices through food with ease while alleviating fatigue and finger pains from long periods of slicing or chopping, perfectly blending control and comfort.
