George ★★★★★

That rose-patterned Damascus cladding is even more striking in person, catches the light beautifully on my magnetic strip. The AUS-10V core took a serious edge after a quick hone and glided through a butternut squash like it was butter.

Mia ★★★★★

The Damascus cladding is stunning in person—that wave pattern catches the light every time I pull it from the block. It came razor sharp out of the box and the AUS-10V core has held its edge through a month of daily veg prep without any noticeable dulling.

Joshua ★★★★★

I’ve had this 8-inch cleaver for two weeks now, and the 66-layer Damascus cladding isn’t just for looks—it glides through squash with barely any resistance. The AUS-10V core holds its edge through a whole prep session, and the D3 diamond detailing means I haven’t needed to touch the sharpener yet.
