Zhen Japanese Damascus VG-10 Vegetable Cleaver Chopping Knife 7"

With its beautiful rosewood handle, this knife is not only jewelry for your kitchen, it is a joy to use. Perfectly weighted and balanced, it makes quick work of anything you want to slice, chop or mince.

This instrument is hand-crafted; every little line you see in the Damascus design is actually a result of working the steel, folding and quenching it. They've done this 67 times for this blade making it extremely hard and extraordinarily sharp.

The curved blade makes it ideal to 'rock' and cut like a professional. I have a very large set of knives; some ancient carbon steel and the rest Wusthof dropforged blades. This one blows them away!

I wish I had bought it sooner, but it only had one review and I couldn't find too much information about it. I can only say that if you're serious about cooking, you have to chop a lot of vegetables and this is the blade you want! Zhen Japanese Damascus VG-10 Vegetable Cleaver Chopping Knife 7"

The factory edge left some to be desired. After a few hours of grinding and honing I was able to get a razor edge that holds up. VG-10 is hard steel but can be worked with. I used a "Lansky" system that keeps the stones at a constant angle. I had to use 20 degrees because that was how the blade came. Had I lowered to 17 degrees it would have taken much longer. This is good Japanese steel but the knife was built in Taiwan. The blade pattern is good, allowing clearance for one's fingers and the knife has a comfortable grip for long term slicing and chopping. The extra width makes it a scoop as well. Once I got this blade tuned in, I now like it a lot. A good buy for someone who likes a project, probably not so if perfection is expected out of the box and one is not skilled or inclined to put in some work.

Beware I got this as a gift and it worked beautifully for three months. Only sponge cleaning, no bones (we rarely even eat meat). Then, after cutting some fresh brussel sprouts, a section of the blade edge broke off! Total waste of money and serious disappointment.
