Shun Classic 7-Inch Vegetable Cleaver, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle

Love my cleaver. I use it for all my cooking. I'm vegan and it has seen A LOT of vegetables. It's all I use now over any other knife I own. And it sharpens easy and keep a good edge if you hone it

I almost never write reviews, let alone good ones. But I was back on the site to buy some knife storage and felt this needed to be said: This knife has replaced all of my knives in most situations - in addition to serving as a better ‘chef's knife', it gives me more control due to the fact that I'm not switching tools between tasks. Of course, like other Shun knives, even though it's been used multiple times a day for over a year in often less than ideal conditions, it's still super sharp. Shun: this knife really belongs in the chef's section. It's everything but a specialty knife. Note: I currently own the Kaji version but used and love both.
