Lassen wir das Aussehen für einen Moment beiseite und betrachten wir die einzigartige Geometrie dieses Hochleistungs-Hackmessers. Wenn Sie mit dem „S“-Schliff nicht vertraut sind, besteht die Idee hinter dieser einzigartigen Geometrie darin, den Kontakt zwischen dem Produkt und der Oberfläche der Klinge zu reduzieren. Dies reduziert natürlich Blutergüsse und Schäden an den Produkten, verbessert aber auch die Lebensmittelfreisetzung. Dieses Hackmesser verfügt über einen etwas experimentellen Doppel-S-Schliff, der eine zusätzliche Vertiefung in der Klinge aufweist, um die Lebensmittelfreisetzung auf eine noch höhere Ebene zu bringen.

Das Messer ist überraschend leicht und flink, diese Klinge ist sicherlich für den universellen Einsatz konzipiert. Die laserdünne Kante in Verbindung mit dem einzigartigen Doppel-S-Schliff führt zu einem erstaunlichen Schneide- und Hackerlebnis. Ein Nakiri-Beil oder ein chinesisches Beil, sicherlich kein Knochenschneider.

Nachdem wir uns nun mit der Leistung befasst haben, wollen wir uns mit dem Aussehen befassen. Die gedrehte Klinge aus 109-lagigem Damast und das im Griff verwendete Eisenholz-Maserholz, Edelstahl und Karbonfaser ergeben eine zeitgemäße und doch klassische Kombination, die durch den innovativen Doppel-S-Schliff akzentuiert und aggressiv für ein Hackbeil ist.

Ein weiteres atemberaubendes Erbstück des österreichischen Handwerksmeisters Martin Huber.

Blade type

Cleaver

A broad, heavy, rectangular blade — and a term that covers two very different tools. The heavy Western butcher's cleaver is built with a thick spine and robust edge to chop through bone and joints; the lighter Chinese vegetable cleaver (càidāo) has a tall, thin blade that is a surprisingly nimble all-purpose knife, with a wide face useful for scooping. Knowing which one is meant matters.

A true butcher's cleaver trades all finesse for the mass and durability needed to split bone, and it has little place in delicate work. The Chinese vegetable version is far more versatile than its size suggests but is not built for bone at all, despite the shared silhouette. The shape promises power; the specific knife determines whether that power comes with any subtlety.

Mosaic damascus is a sub-discipline of damascus construction in which the maker arranges the contrasting steels into deliberate pictorial or repeating patterns — stars, knots, signatures, complete images — rather than the more conventional flowing, fold-driven patterns. The technique is associated with the modern American forging school and with a small number of European specialists. Among the makers Modern Cooking carries, Martin Huber, Fredrik Spåre, and Mert Tansu produce mosaic damascus work.

The metallurgical caveats are the same as for ordinary damascus: the cutting performance comes from whichever steel forms the cutting edge — often a clad core, occasionally the harder of the laminate steels in a full-damascus blade. The mosaic pattern is, almost by definition, a display feature.

For a kitchen knife customer, mosaic damascus is best understood as one of the highest expressions of the craft side of bladesmithing. As an editorial entry, it should always be discussed alongside the underlying core steel rather than as a steel in itself.

Grind

Compound Grind

A category covering blades ground with more than one geometry stacked into a single cross-section — typically a convex (or flat) primary bevel at the very edge, with one or more hollows ground higher up the blade face to relieve material behind it. The aim is food release and reduced wedging: the hollow opens an air gap so dense produce breaks away from the blade instead of clinging to it, while the convex steel at the edge keeps the apex strong and the knife driving through the cut.

The named variations in the Modern Cooking catalogue differ in where the hollows sit, how many there are, and whether the two faces are ground alike:

S-Grind — a convex primary bevel at the edge with a hollow ground into both faces just above it. The symmetrical "S"-shaped cross-section is the classic food-release grind: relief above the edge, strength at the edge.

C-Grind — an asymmetric S-grind. Both faces keep the convex primary bevel, but only one face carries the hollow above it. The single-sided relief biases food release to one side, and is simpler to grind and to maintain than a full S.

B-Grind — a stacked twin-hollow grind: a tight, narrow hollow immediately above the edge, with a second, broader and wider hollow above that. The staged relief gives especially strong food release across the height of the blade.

S-Hook Grind — also called a hook, harpoon, or J grind. An S-grind taken to an extreme, with the hollow placed very close to the cutting edge. The aggressive near-edge relief gives outstanding food release, at the price of being the most maintenance-sensitive of the family.

Asymmetrical-B Grind — a B-grind in which the twin-hollow structure is carried on one face while the other is ground differently (or left without the upper hollow), off-setting the edge. It combines the staged food release of a B-grind with the handed, steering character of an asymmetric grind.

In every case the gain is food release and reduced drag, and the shared cost is sharpening: as the edge is thinned over the knife's life, maintenance eventually reaches the hollowed steel, which cannot be flattened on a stone the way a convex or flat bevel can. How soon that happens depends on how deeply the hollows are cut and how close to the edge they sit — exactly what separates a gentle S-grind from an aggressive S-hook. These are high-craft geometries, prized by makers and experienced users for their cutting feel, and best appreciated by a cook who maintains their own edges.

Handle construction

Hidden Tang

A construction in which the tang runs into the handle but stays concealed inside it, rather than showing between two scales. A narrower tang — a full-length stick or a shorter projection — is set into a drilled or burned channel in a one-piece handle and secured with adhesive, a friction fit, or a threaded fitting drawn up against the blade. This is the traditional construction of Japanese wa-handles and many European hidden-tang knives.

The design puts the handle material in charge of the look and feel: a single piece of wood, horn, or composite — often with a ferrule or spacers at the front — is shaped into any cross-section the maker wants, from the classic octagonal and D-shaped wa profiles to fully rounded Western forms. With no steel showing along the grip, the handle can be slim and light, and is frequently made to be removed and replaced, with the balance sitting toward the blade.

Product Care

Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.

Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.

Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. Keep the knife dry between uses and when storing for longer periods, wiping the blade with Tsubaki oil or another food-safe oil is a wise choice. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming.

Handle Care: For non-stabilised wooden handles, apply Tsubaki oil or another food-safe oil from time to time. Food-safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and non-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
