{"product_id":"samura-mo-v-cleaver-180-mm","title":"Samura Mo-V Cleaver 180 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Samura Mo-V cleaver is a chef's cleaver with a 180 mm blade for chopping and portioning meat and fish. Its broad blade is 92 mm high, and the knife has a weight suited to working with solid food. The blade is a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, and the black G-10 handle meets it at a stainless steel bolster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from a \u003cstrong\u003esingle layer of AUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. For a cleaver, this hardness is a sensible balance: the edge copes with regular chopping, and you can restore it on a whetstone without much effort. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but you should still wash and dry the cleaver soon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides at a factory sharpening angle of \u003cstrong\u003e40°\u003c\/strong\u003e. This wide angle helps the edge keep its finishing grind for a long time, while the blade stays sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack G-10 handle\u003c\/strong\u003e is ergonomic and moisture-resistant: it does not swell or change colour, and it sits comfortably in your hand. A \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e joins the handle to the blade. The ergonomic shape of the cleaver and the balance between blade and handle make the work easier. The cleaver weighs 376 g and measures 315 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping and portioning meat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping meat on the bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDividing large cuts of meat into smaller pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the cleaver with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. After that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave it in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass; this cleaver is the SAMURA knife for meat and bones, but leave frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Use a honing rod between sharpenings, resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory angle of 40°, and store the cleaver in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Mo-V series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mo-v\"\u003eMo-V collection\u003c\/a\u003e pairs a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel with a contemporary design, an ergonomic, moisture-resistant G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster, for home cooks and kitchen professionals alike.
