Cleaver 180mm by 85mm Spicy White, Maple & Brass

Karol Karyś of made by Karyś produces some of the most unique culinary knives in the world. Absolutely performance first design, but with striking aesthetics that are inspired by brutalist architecture. His latest piece, this 180mm by 85mm Chinese cleaver features the fluted “S” grind texture. Aside from giving the knife some very cool looks, the textures also help to reduce the weight of the knife and with food release or reduced produce stickage. The phenomenon where food sticks the side of the blade.

Performance wise the blade features some very decent geometry. Nicely tapered throughout with a beautifully thin and sharp cutting edge. The profile features a flat edge profile with a nice curve towards the nose for a little rock ability. It’s a very light weight and well-balanced cleaver with razor sharp and thin cutting edge.

The stabilized maple and brass handle has been sculpted in Karol’s classic style and as with any of Karol’s work it’s a thoughtfully designed, and beautiful piece with excellent cutting performance to match.
