Reach for it when you want to chop and portion meat, break down larger cuts or divide fish into portions. It combines an AUS-10 stainless steel blade and a convex edge with a ribbed stainless steel handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from a single layer of \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-10 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e59–61 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. Steel at this hardness holds its edge well, so you need to sharpen less often. AUS-10 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel; washing and drying the blade soon after use helps keep it in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cleaver has the \u003cstrong\u003econvex sharpening\u003c\/strong\u003e that is typical of the Reptile series: its bevel curves gently towards the cutting line instead of being ground flat. The blade is 158 mm long and 70 mm high, with a \u003cstrong\u003esatin finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe silver handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and has the ribbed shape of the Reptile series. SAMURA designed the series around an ultra-light weight, so the cleaver sits comfortably in your hand whatever you are preparing.

Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the cleaver should not sit in the sink for long. Work on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, take care with food that contains bones, and keep frozen food for a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Store the cleaver in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items, hone it on a rod between sharpenings and sharpen it on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Reptile series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reptile\"\u003eReptile series\u003c\/a\u003e draws on the Mesozoic era, when giant reptiles roamed the Earth, and combines heritage with contemporary design.
