This is a unique honyaki hakata style cleaver in W2 steel by F.Vaz. This has a good bit of weight behind it with a workhorse grind, quite thin at the edge. Ergonomic handle with an all-purpose blade, can't go wrong with this one. Has been used a handful of times, edge was chipped then repaired/re-sharpened on a 3000 grit belt grinder, then polished off on a leather strop.
