Zokuri | Japanese Cleaver

Some knives are tools. This one is an extension of your hand.

The Yozoku Damascus Slicing Cleaver is the most versatile knife in the collection. Wide enough to scoop, heavy enough to power through, precise enough to slice paper-thin cuts of meat and fish.

At 357g it carries serious weight — the kind that does the work for you. The broad flat blade doubles as a bench scraper, garlic crusher and food transfer tool. This is the knife that Chinese home cooks have relied on for generations, now forged in 67-layer Damascus steel.

Care instructions:

Hand wash only — never dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife roll. Sharpen with a whetstone at 15 degrees for best results. Oil the blade occasionally to maintain brightness and prevent oxidation.
