This cleaver, with its substantial 180mm edge length, is engineered to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks, from chopping large cuts of meat to finely dicing vegetables. The blade, constructed with a 5-layer (Go Mai) technique, features waves of copper, Karol’s brutalist-inspired textures impressed upon ancient wrought iron, and a contemporary high-performance S grind geometry. The blacked-out steel, rich with contrast against the copper cladding, is an incredible piece of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from Apex Ultra steel, this cleaver boasts impressive toughness, superior edge retention, and sharpness. The spine, tapering from 3.6mm at the heel to 1.6mm near the tip, provides a robust backbone while maintaining a finely honed edge for precision cuts. The S grind enhances the blade's food release, allowing for effortless slicing through various food textures with minimal resistance. When cutting produce, this high-performance kitchen knife will retain the integrity of the food and therefore enhance its flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its substantial build, the cleaver's weight is only 293g, thanks to Karol’s exceptional work forging a fine taper onto the blade and the S grind, which removes mass. This results in reduced hand fatigue during prolonged use. The handle is a work of art, featuring a hidden tang construction made from stabilized Karelian Birch and accented with Karol’s signature textured bolster in copper. The aesthetics rest on a foundation of perfect balance, weight, and ergonomics. We are always thrilled to receive work from Karol; his craftsmanship is exceptional and continues to impress with this high-performance kitchen cleaver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Karol Karyś","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45573477400841,"sku":"MC-95-686","price":240766.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/7273\/5626\/files\/Cleaver180ApexCopperWroughtIronCladKarelianBirch2_3de097e5-47c1-4164-8d13-1756f4a5029c.jpg?v=1754641850","url":"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/en-is\/products\/cleaver-180mm-800mm-apex-ultra-with-copper-and-wrought-iron-cladding","provider":"moderncooking.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
