An In depth look

Blade Type

The cleaver, distinct from its Western counterpart, is a specialized tool designed for precision meat cutting. It features a robust, wide blade adept at slicing through large cuts of meat and bones with ease and efficiency.

Steel Type

Blue Steel #2, or "Aogami" #2, is a revered Japanese high-carbon steel alloyed with low amounts of chromium and tungsten. It strikes an excellent balance between durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Slightly more ductile than Blue #1, it's widely used in crafting traditional knives, beloved by chefs for its resilience and sharpness, albeit is slightly softer than Blue 1.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use. 

Introducing

Artisan Crafter with Traditional Techniques

Knives we offer at Chef’s Edge are artisan-crafted in Japan — the product of traditional techniques, skilled hands, and a culture deeply rooted in blade-making excellence.

We work directly with blacksmiths and workshops across Japan to curate what we believe is the most exceptional range of Japanese kitchen knives in the world. Whether shaped in a small forge in Sanjo or hand-finished in Sakai, each piece reflects the care, precision, and performance that define true craftsmanship.

At Chef’s Edge, we exist to bring these tools — and their stories — into the hands of cooks who appreciate the difference.
