Description

Two knives can cover most of a cutting board if they are the right two. This pair is a Chinese-style slicing cleaver for meat and heavier work, and a nakiri for vegetables, with a straight edge that meets the board along its whole length so nothing stays half-attached.

Both blades are 67-layer Damascus steel over a 10Cr15 high-carbon core, vacuum heat treated to help a thin edge hold up to daily use. The handles are figured wood with copper mosaic pins.

Hand-wash and dry them, and store them where the edges will not knock against anything hard.

Materials & Care

Each blade has a 10Cr15 high-carbon core clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel, vacuum heat treated. Handles are figured wood with copper mosaic pins. High-carbon steel likes to be dried promptly, and the wood handles stay at their smoothest when kept out of standing water.

Shipping & Returns

Complimentary standard shipping to the United States and United Kingdom, with no minimum spend. Orders are prepared within 1–3 business days. US delivery is typically 5–10 business days after dispatch, UK 6–10 business days.

Two shapes that split the work

The slicing cleaver has a tall, broad blade for portioning boneless meat and moving food from board to pan. The nakiri has a flat edge that lands evenly on the board, which makes it quick through cucumbers, cabbage and scallions. Between them, most daily prep is covered.

Layered steel, hard core

A 10Cr15 high-carbon core forms the cutting edge, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus steel that show as a flowing pattern on the face. Vacuum heat treatment hardens the core so it can carry a thin edge. Figured wood handles, set with copper mosaic pins, give each knife a distinct look.
