Cleaver 200mm X 85mm Stainless Clad Apex Ultra Go Mai

Martin Huber is a breakaway star in the artisan knife making scene. From knife to knife we are seeing improvements in fit and finish, cutting performance and overall geometry that are nearing perfection, along with a refined and considered approach to style.

This 200mm Chinese cleaver features a beautifully tapered geometry. Thick above the heel for a lovely satisfying pinch and thin at the front of the blade for a nimble, balanced feel. With an overall weight of just over 360g the blade is nicely weighted with just the right amount of heft. The edge profile has a subtle curve and feels very comfortable on the cutting board.

Forged from house made Go Mai steel featuring Apex Ultra high carbon steel at the core and clad in stainless steel and nickel. Martin forges his steel and blades on a 100kg Béché power hammer which is near enough to 100 years old. His laminated steels are some of the best to be found in Europe.

Finally, the handle. A tapered Rokaku Hanmaru handle crafted from a stunning piece of elm burl with brass, G10 and carbon spacers and a textured brass bolster. This is a contemporary, yet classy piece from Martin. Absolutely stunning!
