Its broad blade is 93 mm high, and the knife has a weight suited to working with solid food. The blade is single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel with a dark stonewash finish, and the handle is black G-10.\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. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and at this hardness the edge holds up well to regular chopping; you can restore it on a whetstone when it needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides, and its factory sharpening angle is \u003cstrong\u003e40°\u003c\/strong\u003e. This angle helps the finishing grind last a long time while the blade stays sharp. The \u003cstrong\u003estonewash finish\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the blade its dark colour.\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, so it does not swell or change colour with use. A \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e separates the blade from the oval handle. The balance between the blade and the handle is designed to make the work easier. The knife 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. 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, and use the cleaver 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 Stonewash series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnives in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mo-v-stonewash\"\u003eMo-V Stonewash series\u003c\/a\u003e get their distinct dark blades from stonewashing: the metal is worked with millions of small stones.
