Each Classic knife is precision-forged from a single block of high-carbon stainless steel for superior edge retention, durability, and balance. The X50 CrMoV15 steel formula ensures this cleaver stays sharp, stain-resistant, and easy to maintain over time.

Steel Breakdown:

• X = Stainless Steel

• 50 = 0.5% Carbon for razor-sharp cutting power

• Cr = Chromium (15%) for corrosion resistance

• Mo = Molybdenum for blade strength

• V = Vanadium for long-lasting edge retention

The ergonomic synthetic handle is seamlessly attached to the full tang with three rivets, ensuring hygiene, strength, and comfort through every chop 🧼.
