Product description
Official product description:
For nearly a century, Takeda Hamono has been handcrafting exceptional Japanese knives and tools in Niimi, Japan. Forged by Shosui Takeda and his small team, these blades are known for their distinctive geometry, expertly heat-treated Aogami Super steel, and uncompromising cutting performance. Lightweight construction, tall blade profiles, and Takeda’s unmistakable kurouchi finish give each knife a character that is immediately recognizable.
This series features an Aogami Super carbon steel core clad in softer stainless steel, reducing reactivity and simplifying maintenance while preserving the keen edge and edge retention the steel is prized for. Despite its large, ultra-tall profile, the Takeda AS Stainless Clad Large Cleaver remains remarkably light and responsive in hand. Thin geometry and acute edge bevels allow the high-performance core steel to deliver exceptional sharpness, precision, and efficiency, particularly in vegetable preparation and chopping tasks.
For cooks seeking a high-performance Japanese cleaver that is thin, tall, easy to maintain, and built for precision cutting, the Takeda AS Stainless Clad Large Cleaver represents the very best of traditional Japanese blacksmithing paired with modern practicality.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Although the blade features stainless cladding, the exposed Aogami Super carbon steel edge can develop patina or rust if left wet. Avoid cutting frozen foods, bones, or very hard items. Use a wooden or soft synthetic cutting board, and store the cleaver safely when not in use.
