This Kuro Chukabocho cleaver is built for cooks who prep vegetables by the pile, not the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from high-carbon steel as a hand-finished, full tang design — a straight, double-bevelled 18 cm edge with a 10 cm tall blade and a sturdy 4 mm spine. That extra height and weight sit it between a traditional lightweight nakiri and a heavier Chinese-style chukabocho, giving you a push-cutting knife that powers through hard-skinned vegetables like squash and swede without losing the fine control needed for julienne, brunoise and allumette work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 435 g it has real presence in the hand without feeling unwieldy, and it arrives with a protective safety sheath so the edge stays keen between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a dedicated vegetable knife — not a do-it-all blade — and it is better for it, built to reward cooks who value precision prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-carbon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEdge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble bevel, straight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 cm (widest point)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpine thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e435 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife + safety sheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I care for this knife?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand wash only and dry thoroughly straight away — high-carbon steel can stain or rust if left wet.
