Vegetable cleaver 78x170 mm

Here’s a High carbon Steel vegetable cleaver. This cleaver is a bit heavier than my classic gyutos but still keeping the thinly ground edge. This weight helps to push the knife through ingridients and therefore makes for a smooth and clean cut. 

This cleaver is forged out of 80CrV2 high carbon steel  and has a handle made from masur birch with an Elforyn bolster. 

Note that this is a thinly ground vegetable cleaver intended for push cutting and fine chopping. Do not use it to chop through bones, frozen goods or similar things.
