The most fitting Eastern variation to the well known Western meat cleaver, the Chinese chopper is a knife that is used for every purpose, in China. Despite “cleaver” being in the name, the blade is not really known to be used for cutting sizeable dense animal bones. It is better suited for chicken bones and wide vegetables. In the hands of an adept wielder, the Chinese chopper can show its versatility with the ability to julienne, slice, dice and mince vegetables of all kinds, despite its size. A multi-purpose knife that can also crush garlic and ginger on its flat side and tenderise meat with the back of the blade. What differentiates the Chinese cleaver to its Western counterpart is the thin sharp blade that enables it to perform more delicate tasks — typically made from carbon steel or stainless steel, or even a combination of both.

Tamahagane – Ancient meets modern. Hand finished Japanese Knives

Made by skilled artisans in Tsubame, Niigata. The result of hundreds of years of knife making skills stretching back to the times of the Samurai.

A tough inner core of VG5 steel sandwiched between two layers of softer SUS410 stainless steel is the hallmark of the Tamahagane series. The edge is bevelled to a 15-degree angle and hand-finished using waterstones. Tamahagane knives are perfectly sharp straight out of the box.

Tamahagane San features a brown micarta handle with weighted balance. It is made with a 3-ply stainless steel construction. The middle layer is VG-5 steel which forms the edge of the blade. The two outer layers are made of SUS-410 stainless steel, which is softer and more stain resistant in order to protect the cutting edge. All knives including paring, utility and vegetable knives, Santoku, Nakiri and chef kitchen knives, filleting boning and carving knives are hand finished and checked.
