Cocobolo Veggie Cleaver

Inspired by Chinese cleavers this s-grind veggie cleaver (not for bone or frozen foods!) is crafted from 1084 high carbon steel and hardened to 62 Rockwell C. Its sculpted handle is crafted from cocobolo. The insert is brass, brushed to a satin finish. The blade has been hand rubbed to a satin finish and darkened.

Each knife includes a handmade leather wrap which, like all Nordquist products, is crafted in-house. The case is made from 6oz oil tanned leather sourced from S.B. Foot Tanning Company, the principal supplier of leather for Red Wing Shoes. An auburn leather lace is woven into the supple leather, securing the knife inside. This simple case is as functional as it is elegant, offering safe storage for your new knife—or perhaps your old one!

Like the entire Nordquist Designs line, this chef's knife is of truly heirloom quality. Handcrafted in the British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley from locally-sourced materials, these kitchen tools are made to last generations.
