Description
Large, slim, and beautifully balanced in the chef’s hand, Martin Huber of Austria shapes Vinland-pattern Damasteel stainless damascus into a commanding, one-of-a-kind vegetable cleaver. The small-batch, high-performance steel from Sweden is honed into tall, subtly convex, symmetrical bevels above a thin, razor-sharp edge, refined and precise, yet strong enough for confident work through dense ingredients.
Measuring 209mm / 8.2” in length and standing an imposing 80mm tall at the heel, the blade makes full use of its generous footprint. A thoughtful distal taper reduces the spine to just 0.8mm an inch from the tip, allowing the rear of the blade to retain mass and authority while the forward section grows increasingly nimble for detail work and finer cuts. Balanced just over an inch ahead of the rounded choil, the cleaver settles naturally into the hand, its momentum and gravity assisting each decisive movement on the board.
Completing the build is a handle executed with equal intention. Sculpted in a shield-inspired wa profile with faceted top and sides and a gently rounded base, richly figured buckeye burl is paired with ancient bog oak and accented by a ring of TruStone composite. The result is comfort, control, and unmistakable presence—an heirloom vegetable cleaver built to perform daily and command attention for years to come.
