Cleaver 200mm X 80mm "Wave" texture, Blacked Out
No longer available
Blacked out, precision heat treated 1.2519 Germany tool steel, dark naturally forming swirls and lines traverse the primary bevel. This beautiful, naturally forming pattern known in modern times as alloy banding is likely what made Damascus steel famous. Not the pattern wielded Damascus we often see in modern made knives, but the original Damascus or crucible steel (Wootz).
Above the primary bevel the Kamon knives “Wave” hammered texture ripples its way towards the spine with underlaying rustic, yet smooth brute de forge and scale left from the forging process and heat treatment of the blade. A reminder of the hand-crafted nature of the knife and a gothic, brutalist touch that makes a Kamon knife so unique and cool. Like a sculptor he knows just how much to leave and how much to take away.
A dark horse from nose to tail this cleaver has been fitted with a pitch-black Ebony Rokkaku Hanmaru, takedown handle with smooth, dark titanium torpedo endcaps.
It’s a Kamon and so you can be sure that the profile and grind are 100% performance focused, and he delivers. The blade features an astonishing distal taper that is consistent along every axis of this 200mm X 80mm cleaver. Traversing from over 5mm down to a laser thin sub 1mm at the lower end of the nose.
Chop, slice, scoop this is about as good as a cleaver gets!
