A beautiful cooperation between Brook Turner and Jonas Johnsson this vegetable cleaver was designed for both beauty and performance. The blade was forged by Brook Turner from 26C3 steel, renowned for its sharpness and long-lasting edge. With a 5-layer construction and convex grind, the blade effortlessly cuts through even the toughest vegetables with precision. Its unique finish—brute de forge, acid etched patina, and satin polish—not only enhances its appearance but also adds a layer of protection against rust, ensuring lasting durability.
The removable handle is equally impressive, crafted by Jonas Johnsson from Tasmanian Blackwood and deer antler it pairs well with the blade. Its hidden tang, take-down design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, while offering a comfortable and balanced grip that suits both left and right-handed users. The cleaver comes with a tool for removing the handle, hand-forged by Jonas from locally sourced wrought iron.
With a weight that provides the perfect balance of heft and control, this cleaver is built for larger tasks. Whether you're chopping, slicing, or dicing, the cleaver’s exceptional sharpness and sturdy build will bring joy in the kitchen.

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 one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.
A reference guide to steel types
Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
