Experience the Satisfying Heft and Surprising Nimbleness of a True Kitchen Workhorse

The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver 18.7cm brings Japanese precision to the bold, confident cuts that large-scale vegetable prep demands. Known in Chinese kitchens as the all-purpose workhorse, this wide-bladed knife is built for cooks who mean business.

The Specs

  • Steel: Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, 32-layer Damascus stainless steel cladding
  • Edge: Hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel (32° inclusive)
  • Blade length: 18.7cm (7.75 in.)
  • Handle: D-shaped ebony PakkaWood®
  • Origin: Handcrafted in Japan

Every Part of This Blade Has a Purpose

The edge chops through large vegetables like cabbage, wombok, and daikon with clean, decisive strokes. The flat of the blade doubles as a garlic and ginger smasher. And despite its imposing width, Shun's thinner blade profile keeps it light and easy to manoeuvre - nimble enough for many cooks to use as their everyday chopper and slicer. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel, bead-blasted to reveal its flowing wave-like pattern, while the ebony PakkaWood® D-shaped handle provides a secure, balanced grip. Note: this is a vegetable cleaver - do not use on joints, bones, or meat.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hand wash only, never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Hone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge
  • Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
  • Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade
