This is such an impressive piece of work. 210mm x 100mm, less than 2.5mm thin, slightly tapered, almost perfectly centred core and nice even shinogi. A beast of a Chinese cleaver w ith lovely thin and sharp convex bevels. If you have ever worked steel in a forge, be it at a simple knife making class or as a professional knife maker this kinda thing is impressive. It not just impressive from a craftsmanship perspective, it will also impress in the kitchen. Brook loves working with wrought iron and this blade features a classic "Spice White" core with a nickel and wrought iron cladding. The textured cladding is a like finger print left by his power hammer. Its brushed finish and it looks very nice. The bevels are stone polished, convex, and beautifully consistent. The knife is finished with a beautiful piece of African Blackwood, dense, rich black with subtle reddish brown hues. Very nice! We would usually finish the product description with a few comments about the fit and finish and general quality, but honestly I think we have said what we need to about this one. Very nice work, very impressed with this piece from Brook Turner. Show more
