Description: Forge to Table was started by chef Noah Rosen. Their knives are hand forged by a 3rd generation blacksmith in China. Forge to Table knives bring an affordable, yet quality option to the world of culinary knives.
This is the cleaver for hacking, chopping, and crushing your way through nearly anything in your path. It is the Forge to Table Classic Cleaver's badass older sibling. At a whopping 740 grams (or 26 ounces), this blade gets through it all. Cleanly chop a steaming hot peking duck in half in a single blow or split whole chickens for hearty soups.
The heft of this blade makes it a specialized tool for professional butchers who want to use the weight to cleave easily through bone, flesh and muscle. They first made this blade for a friend who is a professional butcher. It was such a success that they made more.
For durability, this blade's tang runs through the entire length of the handle. The even weight distribution puts the power where you need it for any chopping task -- across the entire edge.
The Heavy Weight Chinese Cleaver is hand forged from premium 4116 stainless steel made by ThyssenKrupp in Germany. The balance of carbon and chromium content give it a high degree of corrosion resistance and impressive physical characteristics of strength and edge holding. Retention in actual cutting tests exceed blades made of 420 and 440 series stainless steels. The blacksmith's kurouchi finish helps food release from the side of the blade.
The contoured handle is made from African padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii) with a metal ferrule. It is comfortable for both right and left handed users. This handle, with its full length tang will hold up extremely well in the harsh environment of either a professional or home kitchen. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
The knife is shipped in a wood display box featuring Forge to Table's logo.
