This avant-garde kitchen cleaver is built for high-performance food prep. The knife features an open, skeletonized steel frame that changes how you grip and balance the blade. The hollowed-out handle splits into clean steel struts and finishes with a beautiful wood element integrated directly into the end of the handle.

The high-carbon steel blade features a striking Brut de Forge finish, where the scale has been removed to expose the texture of the forging process. To make it a true kitchen success, it features a technical, asymmetric grind. One side is a hammered-in hollow grind, and the other is a flat bevel. This single-bevel setup creates an air pocket as you cut, dropping surface friction so vegetables slide right off the blade.
