WOLF
Kitchen Cleaver
Damascus · Black micarta
$620
This cleaver was drawn out for the person who cooks every night, not the one who photographs the knife block. The balance point sits right at the pinch grip so the weight does the chopping for you.
Two hundred layers of Damascus give a tight, flowing pattern that runs the full height of the blade. The grind is thin behind the edge for clean release through dense vegetables.
Black micarta scales stay grippy wet, wash clean, and never move with humidity.
