Due Cigni Hakucho usuba 16.5 cm, olive wood

This Due Cigni Hakucho usuba is a version of the nakiri knife. A typical Japanese vegetable knife. The tip of the edge is slightly curved to make sure you can also cut perfect strips of vegetables from an angle. Although the shape might suggest it, we are not dealing with a cleaver. After all, the steel is a lot thinner which means that chopping could seriously damage the blade.
