The Executioner's Meat Cleaver.

A sharpness that makes you want to keep cutting. DAN 240mm.

The Demon Blacksmith of Miki Village, JAPAN Shigeki Tanaka presents: The Executioner's Meat Cleaver. 
The highest quality "Blue No.2 steel" is hand-forged and then hand-ground to create a knife that is both incredibly sharp and maintains its edge for a long time. The stainless clad surface is blackened and hammered with a Tsuchime finish. The handle is made of cast aluminum. The unique texture and surface treatment of the handle itself provide an excellent grip, creating a superb feel in the hand. The moment anyone holds this knife, they'll be eager to cut ingredients.

"Cleaver-Style" Butcher Knife - DAN -, as its name suggests, is ideal for cutting meat. It can be used for various cuts such as thin slices, thick slices, diced pieces, and blocks. Of course, it can also be used for vegetables and fish. "You don't need to say any more... Your words cut deep... deeper than any blade." Since it is a double-edged knife, it can be used by both left and right-handed individuals. 
This is a build-to-order product and takes approximately three months to produce.

The sharpness of tanaka knives is astonishing, and their long-lasting edge is even more so.
In daily cooking, the speed of work and even the texture of food can change depending on whether you use a sharp knife or a dull one. Since it's an item used daily, we highly recommend it as an enjoyable cooking tool. Please note that the blade of the DAN knife, which uses Blue steel, can rust, so after use, rinse off dirt and thoroughly wipe away any moisture.
This applies to all knives, but there is a risk of chipping the blade if you twist it. Please be careful.

*Sharpening and repair services are available.
