I.O.Shen knives have been handcrafted by master craftsmen using Japanese steel and with paring them with westernised handles with a Tai Tang design. Super sharp edges and the hardest stainless steel result in beautiful-looking knives that are perfectly weighted and balanced, with long-lasting blades that rarely need sharpening because they maintain their edge so well. An iconic blade – this is the only knife in the I.O.Shen family which has a practically straight cutting edge. Also known as the Chinese Broad Blade Shredder. Almost completely straight along the cutting edge of the deep blade, this is an iconic shape for keen fans of Chinese cookery, with a rounded tip to allow greater freedom of movement. The cleaver styling lends itself to the chopping techniques used by Oriental chefs. This facilitates shredding like no other blade as there is no rocking movement – just a deft slicing action. It is also perfect for dicing and chopping. _*Note: This product cannot be sold to any person
