Shun Classic 7" Vegetable Cleaver DM0712

The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver is a large squared knife with a very wide blade. Sometimes this style is referred to as a Chinese cleave. Whatever you call it, it is a very versatile knife. Great for cutting vegetables, the Cleaver is well sized for cabbage, while the flat of the blade makes a great tool for smashing garlic cloves or ginger, too. The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver feels solid, but Shuns thinner blade makes it easy to handle so food preparation is a pleasure. Don't be tempted to use this knife on joints, bones or meat. Shun's Meat Cleaver is made for that kind of work.

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.
