Masterfully honed from homemade carbon damascus steel to move through ingredients with uninterrupted speed and efficiency, artist Jayden Simisky delivers a Chinese-style cleaver that is easy to pick up—but difficult to put down. Weight, balance, and superb compound S-grind geometry combine to ensure steady, precise movements, the razor-sharp, glass-thin edge ready for daily meal prep in kitchens large or small. Standing 97mm tall and extending 177mm / 7” across the cutting board, a striking pattern of intertwined high-carbon alloys courses through the blade’s bevels, complemented by a textured, forge-finished stretch along the spine that bears the marks of its hand-forged origins. A hollowed concave section above the lower, perfectly shaped convex portion of the primary bevels ensures food release and top cutting performance, no matter the ingredient’s density or size. Finished to a smooth, handsome sheen, a gorgeous cut of striped ebony is shaped into a long, octagonal wa handle, providing a traditional grip for a knife style that more and more chefs are choosing as their daily driver. A one-of-a-kind culinary tool hewn in Boulder, Colorado for kitchens worldwide.
