Description
Dressed in classic vintage paper micarta with stainless steel caps featuring elegant detailing from back to front, this one-of-a-kind chef’s cleaver by bladesmith and artist Nick Anderson commands attention. Forged by hand from robust, high-performance AEB-L stainless steel, the 147mm-long, 84mm-tall blade is built as a hard-use tool ready for any challenge. Ample mass through the center and rear makes it well-suited to light-to-medium butchery, while a steady taper to a fine, pointed tip provides the versatility required for detail work and slicing. The primary bevels, shaped with pronounced symmetrical convexity, are finished with a practical belt polish, while forge-textured flats and a wide tang retain the marks of hand-hammered origins. A contoured, raised spine adds both utility—ideal for scraping and transferring ingredients across the board—and dramatic style, making this cleaver as striking in the kitchen as it is when serving tableside. For everyday prep where neither function nor style can be compromised, Nick Anderson’s cleaver stands as a true heirloom tool—a piece to cook with, admire, and treasure.
