The Cleaver Knife - as it can slash through any type of meat and vegetable with total ease.

It can handle everything from carving a turkey to the most delicate vegetable work.
There's a reason why butchers regard the cleaver as their favorite tool. It's because it has the perfect balance of power and precision. Our Moroyoshi Cleaver takes things to the next level with its superior construction. If you're working with flimsy steak knives - do yourself a favor and make the upgrade.

This knife is highly durable and will last a lifetime.
It comes with a full tang to ensure the blade stays in place no matter what. When chopping, slashing, and carving, it keeps the handle balanced for maximum precision.

Caring for the blade is effortless.
All you have to do is make sure the blade stays dry when it's not in use. If it gets wet, the water may cause the edge to rust. Beyond that, cleaning and caring for this blade is a breeze. For the best results, we recommend hand washing and drying the blade.

While any knife will dull from heavy use, our cleaver features unique engineering. It hones exceptionally well with a whetstone, keeping your blade razor sharp at all times.

At the heart of SAKUTO KNIVES is a fusion of tradition and advanced metallurgy. Our blades feature a razor-sharp VG10 steel core, prized for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and stain resistance. This core is wrapped in multiple layers of Damascus steel, creating a robust cladding that enhances durability while revealing a unique flowing pattern on every blade. Paired with a carefully balanced, ergonomic handle, these materials deliver precision, comfort, and long-lasting performance in the kitchen.

SAKUTO's Damascus steel is crafted by layering 33 layers of metal, then forging them into a single blade. This layering technique creates the stunning rippling pattern seen on the blade.

These patterns are revealed as our artisans grind the blade down to its razor-sharp edge and are further accentuated through the process of bead blasting. Bead blasting also creates surface textures which helps reduce cutting drag and release food from the blade. Not only does Damascus steel look beautiful, but it is stain resistant and extremely durable.

About Knife Handle

SAKUTO handles are made from genuine hardwood and a composite resin, making them durable and moisture-resistant. It has been sanded and polished to create a glossy finish. Like natural wood, each piece of Wood is unique.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DAMASCUS

CUTTING TECHNIQUE

SAKUTO cutlery is designed for smooth slicing rather than harsh chopping. When using your knife, try to mimic a "handsaw motion" while slicing by pushing your knife forward and down, then pulling it back toward your body. Begin slowly, your skill and experience should determine your cutting speed. Always be aware of where your fingers are in relation to the blade. Please refrain from using SAKUTO blades except the cleaver knife on tough materials such as frozen foods or bones. Our blades are intended for precision slicing rather than crushing or chopping.

SHARPENING & HONING

In order to maximize and maintain the performance

For your SAKUTO blade, we suggest regular honing every 2-4 weeks with a ceramic or steel rod. This will extend the time between sharpenings significantly and keep your blade in good condition.

Once it is time to sharpen your blade, use a traditional whetstone for a razor-sharp and precise edge, preferably a medium grit sharpening stone and a fine grit stone for finishing.

USING A WHETSTONE

1. Soak the whetstone in water for 5-10 minutes or until the air bubbles stop appearing, which indicates the stone has absorbed the optimal amount of water.

2. While sharpening, continue to apply water to the stone. The combination of the water and the small particles released from the stone create an abrasive substance that sharpens the blade.

3. Place the stone on a slip-resistant surface, such as a towel, and begin sharpening with the coarse grit of your stone.

4. Move the blade away from then towards the body, in a black and forth motion, at an angle of 10-15°

across the stone. Use light pressure.

5. Begin at the tip of the blade, pull the blade over the stone through the middle and down to the base of the blade.

6. Turn the knife around and work on the other side of the blade. Repeat this process as many times as you feel is necessary.

7. To finish, pull the blade at an angle (use the same angle throughout your sharpening) twice against the edge to remove the last burs.

8. Rinse the whetstone and clean the grinding residue.

9. Rinse the knives thoroughly in hot water and pat dry.

WASHING & DRYING

We highly recommend hand washing your knife with a gentle dish soap. Make sure your soap is free of bleach or citrus extracts, as they can cause your knife to rust. Rinse and towel dry immediately and meticulously, remove any lingering moisture from your blade.

Although the wood used in our handles has been stabilized, like any wood it may shrink in arid climates or swell in humidity. The color may also change slightly over time; this is not a defect but rather a natural process caused by oils in the hand, light exposure, and oxidation.

CUTTING SURFACE

A quality cutting board can help maintain your blade's sharp edge over time. We recommend medium-soft woods such as hinoki rather than harsh materials such as tile, synthetic, granite, marble, ceramic, or any kind of glass.

STORAGE

We recommend that you store your knife in a wooden block, in-drawer knife tray, sheath, or knife case. Avoid storing your knives unsheathed in a drawer.
