Shun Classic Chinese Cleaver

Meet the Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver—a premier Chinese-cleaver style knife designed for professional vegetable prep and versatile kitchen use. This large, squared blade with a very wide face is built to handle substantial produce with ease, making it a favorite in both home and professional kitchens.

The edge is optimized for chopping vegetables—cabbage and other hearty produce—while its nimble handling invites a wide range of chopping and slicing tasks. The flat of the blade also serves as an excellent garlic-smashing surface, turning quick flavor prep into a pleasure.

Key features

• VG-MAX cutting core is wear- and corrosion-resistant, exceptionally strong, and finely grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge.
• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total) support the core, boost stain resistance, and help food release from the blade.
• D-shaped Ebony PakkaWood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, durable, beautiful, and won’t harbor bacteria.
• Full composite tang contributes light weight and perfect balance for precise control.
• Handcrafted in Japan—a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and enduring quality.

Note: While ideal for vegetables and larger produce, this cleaver is not designed for joints, bones, or meat. For those tasks, the dedicated meat cleaver is the recommended tool.

Experience a blade that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern materials—delivering exceptional performance, easy maintenance, and a touch of chef-level precision to everyday cooking.
