Zokuri | Japanese Cleaver
Some knives are tools. This one commands the board.
The Yozoku Damascus Slicing Cleaver is the most versatile knife in the collection. Wide enough to scoop, heavy enough to power through bone and sinew, precise enough to shave paper-thin cuts of meat and fish. At 357g, the weight does the work — you just guide it. The broad flat blade doubles as a bench scraper, garlic crusher, and transfer tool. Forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel with a purple sandalwood handle. Built for cooks who know what they're doing.

Care instructions
Hand wash only — never the dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife roll. Sharpen with a whetstone at 15° for best results, and oil the blade occasionally to keep it bright.
