Lamson Vintage Chinese Santoku Cleaver

These Chinese Santoku cleavers feature a wider, taller blade profile that excels at scooping up chopped ingredients and provides more knuckle clearance. While they handle standard slicing and dicing tasks like a chef's knife, their geometry is specifically optimized for efficient vegetable prep and precise, controlled cuts.

No, these are precision cutting tools, not meat cleavers. They are designed for slicing, dicing, and mincing vegetables and boneless proteins; using them on bone or frozen foods can damage the fine edge.

Lamson offers a complimentary professional sharpening service for the lifetime of your knives. You simply register your product and cover the shipping costs to their Massachusetts facility, and they will professionally hone and sharpen the blades to factory standards.

Yes, because the handles are made from natural walnut, they should be hand-washed and dried immediately rather than placed in a dishwasher. To keep the wood looking its best and prevent drying, you should occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.

A full tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, structural integrity, and ensures the handle is less likely to loosen or break over time compared to partial tang designs.

Absolutely. The sleek bolster is specifically shaped to accommodate a pinch grip, providing a comfortable, secure resting point for your thumb and forefinger. This design helps improve control and stability during repetitive cutting tasks.
