Shun Cutlery TA0712 Engetsu Vegetable Cleaver Limited Edition 7″ Blade

Is this the ultimate vegetable cleaver? It just may be. Also known as a Chinese cleaver, the Limited Edition Engetsu Vegetable Cleaver is unlike any you have seen or used before. You can feel the difference with each cut. Feel the precision control at the tip and the extra-smooth slicing at blade center. This is our Zone Performance Blade Technology. The layering of the Damascus blade steel is different at heel and tip and at the center, providing different types of cutting precision in each of those zones on the blade. The tip is designed for additional control for precision cutting. The heel is tough and durable to stand up to the contact-with-the-board use most common in that area. And the densely patterned center provides for ultra-smooth cutting and, with use, forms micro-serrations to help the blade retain its high level of performance even longer.

This Limited Edition knife is perfect for preparing vegetables, fruits, and a wide range of proteins—it is a favorite blade style of many professional chefs
Engetsu (“full moon” in Japanese) refers to the dense, circular, full-moon pattern in the center of the blade; with Engetsu’s Zone Performance Technology, this zone offers superior keenness and helps food release from the blade
