Master Craftsman & Forgesmith, Takeshi Saji has been making traditional hammer forged knives for decades. His uniqueness is to add modern technologies, materials and designs, while keeping the traditional knife making methods.
This time, he came up with a beautiful and very unique Custom Damascus Chinese Cleaver made of VG-10 core forged with layered Nickel Stainless Damascus steel blade with Traditional Hamaguri-Ba (Convex edge) blade profile. Master Saji says this is the first forged Damascus Chuka-Bocho, and it was hard to hammer forge and heat treat this large blade.
Chinese Cleaver is very versatile cooking knife for many cutting tasks with large and square blade. His art of beautiful Custom Damascus layers can be more impressive and we can feel its powerful craftsman’s soul from its large size blade.
Traditional Hammer Forging Process is known as the best method to bring the steel to its maximum performance in sharpness and edge retention.
This is the limited custom Damascus Chinese Cleaver that is something different and unique with the craftsman’s spirit. This knife fitted with Stag Bone handle scales and polished stainless steel bolster and rivets, which match the energetic style of the Damascus blade.
The Chinese Cleaver is a highly versatile general-purpose kitchen knife that can be used to slice, chop, mince, scrape, and even crush ingredients. The tall blade of the Chinese Cleaver enables it to be safely guided with the knuckles of your free hand when 'tap chopping’, ‘push cutting’, or ‘pull cutting’. This makes it possible to cut large fruit and vegetables, such as cabbages, easily and safely.

For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
