Description: A Chinese vegetable cleaver with a wa-handle using Scandinavian materials.

This ‘Cai Dao’ or Chinese vegetable cleaver, is made using repurposed and grinded sawmill blade for the steel. The handle was originally a rounded apple wood, but was replaced after it cracked during drying. The replaced handle is a combination of moose antler and birch masure in a wa-handle design for a Scandinavian touch.

Materials & Construction

  • Handle: Moose antler bolster, birch masure
  • Blade: Large blade for chopping and slicing vegetables, poultry and fish
  • Use: Medium weight, simple, and functional

Essential and versatile kitchen knife. Most used and functional knife I own.
