Chinese 22cm Chopping Knife by Master Takeshi Saji SRS-13
The Chinese chopping knife, also known as a Chinese cleaver, is ubiquitous in Asia and often used by kitchen chefs. It excels in cutting vegetables, fruits, and boneless meat. It features a sturdy yet relatively thin blade, so it should not be used to chop bones or frozen items. This wide, sharp knife is the perfect tool for tasks like dicing vegetables, portioning poultry, mincing raw meat, or crushing garlic and ginger.
The handle is crafted from micarta, a highly regarded material used in knife production. It is a composite obtained from linen, canvas, and carbon fiber. Micarta is known for its high resistance to mechanical damage, high temperatures, and moisture.

SRS-13
Knives from the SRS-13 series are hand-forged. The core made of high-speed powder steel SRS-13 is enveloped in 21 layers of steel, creating a beautiful pattern, and additional hammering ensures that cut items do not stick to the blade.
The knife's handle is made of micarta, which fits perfectly in the hand and does not fatigue it even during long periods of work.
The combination of the natural beauty of the handle and modern steel, hardened to 64 HRC +/- 1, results in a perfect and unique product. Hand-forging ensures that each pattern on the knife is one-of-a-kind.
