What’s the grind look like on that cleaver?

He has the words mixed up on his shirt.

But, but according to the founder of the Chef Panko fan club it’s the only cleaver necessary everything else is just excessive 😅😂🤣. Nah, most people aren’t blown away by the shibazi around here, except that one guy. I can’t remember his name, but everyone knows who I’m talking about, including...

Super cool, I’m in and will follow.

Monosteel has always felt stiffer when it’s a thin blade than thin San Mai blades. Plenty of stiff thicker San Mai blades. Takeda is an extreme example of a thin flimsy San Mai blade, not saying they are all like that. But still a good example.

How you like yours?

These are all great suggestions. I like kanehide this range, but that tadafusa that was recommended looks excellent. Good thing about you probably aren’t going to miss with any of these recs.

It’s not just about profile. Profiles can vary on both cleavers and nakiris.

I agree. 90 mm can definitely be a cleaver. Yes they will handle differently than the taller one more in the 110 mm range, but they definitely can feel differently than even tall nakiris. It has to do with the overall blade whether it’s a cleaver or not. I think they are just different types...

So I put it through a couple of big carrots the other day. Smooth as butter, silent killa. I can’t think of anything it hasn’t performed well on.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt a better steel on the stones than shig. Perhaps, some are close, maybe could be argued as good, but none I felt clearly better. To not atleast like the steel seems odd to me, but of course I everyone has their preferences and perspective.

That’s a baddy right there. Looks awesome. You a cleaver guy?

Sorry about the delay. I was going to do a video of it going through something dense but haven’t gotten to it. It actually from what I remember goes through dense product really great. Its a really great cutter. It does help with food release but it’s not elite or magical, but does give it...

Yeah that’s my cleaver.
