The Shun 7-inch Premier Vegetable Cleaver, also known as a Chinese cleaver, is an effective multi-purpose knife ideal for processing large vegetables such as cabbage. The large square blade of this cleaver knife is solid yet thin, nimble and sturdy enough for almost any kind of cutting or slicing while remaining light and easy to use. Constructed with Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX cutting core and clad in 68 layers of stainless Damascus, this vegetable knife is corrosion and stain resistant with a strong, razor-sharp edge. The D-shaped, walnut-finished Pakkawood handle is durable, beautiful, and comfortable to use for both left and right-handed users. Inspired by the traditions of ancient Japan, Shun knives are handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. – TDM0712 – 9 – B174-3
