Tiubh Cleaver 190mm "Fathachspás" ApexUltra

The "Fathachspás" is a 190mm cleaver forged by Erik Gullikson, featuring his bold and iconic "Tiubh" design with sweeping lines along the spine and angular, versatile profile. Its name "Fathachspás", meaning "space giant" in Irish, reflects its bold dimensions and functional, high performance design. Crafted from ApexUltra steel, known for its exceptional toughness and edge retention, the cleaver easily handles heavy workloads. The blade’s broad profile and weight make it ideal for cutting large root vegetables, while its sharp edge ensures precise, clean slices.

The blade features an "S grind," a specialized compound geometry that offers superior cutting efficiency and reduces friction during slicing. With an overall length of 295mm and an edge length of 190mm, it excels in handling demanding cutting tasks.

The handle of the Fathachspás is a hidden tang construction made from lightweight aluminum, complemented by an heirloom-fit geometrical bolster crafted from darkened zirconium. The aluminum handle mirrors the blade's crater-like texture, giving the cleaver a cohesive, otherworldly aesthetic that lives up to its name. Designed for ambidextrous use, the handle provides a comfortable grip for both left and right-handed users.

A masterful design by Irish craftsman Erik Gullikson, this cleaver not only delivers exceptional performance and user satisfaction in the kitchen but also stands out as a striking statement piece, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal.
