For vegetable preparation

The Kessaku KES53073 is a 7-inch Nakiri cleaver designed for precise vegetable chopping and slicing in a home or professional kitchen. Its rectangular blade profile suits straight cuts through produce without rocking. The cleaver shape also allows the broad side to crush garlic or transfer ingredients. It is not for hacking through bone or heavy butchery tasks.

Blade steel and hardness

The blade is forged from 67-layer AUS-10V Japanese Damascus steel with a Rockwell hardness of 62+. This high-carbon stainless super steel holds a keen edge and resists corrosion and rust. The hand-sharpened edge uses a 16-degree angle per side for clean cuts. Buyers who need a softer steel for easier home sharpening should consider other options.

Handle construction and care

The full-tang G10 fiber-resin handle is secured with triple rivets and includes a blade guard for balance and safety. The material resists heat, cold and moisture while preventing debris buildup. Hand washing and immediate drying are required to maintain the stainless steel finish. The ergonomic grip reduces hand fatigue during extended prep sessions.

Questions about this item

How does a 62+ Rockwell hardness affect daily chopping?

The 62+ Rockwell rating means the AUS-10V steel holds a keen edge through long prep sessions and resists rolling, so you sharpen less often.

What does the 67-layer Damascus construction actually do for the blade?

The 67-layer fold creates a hard AUS-10V core wrapped in softer stainless layers, giving corrosion resistance and a distinctive pattern without sacrificing toughness.

Will the full-tang G10 handle with triple rivets fit a standard knife block slot?

The full-tang, triple-rivet G10 handle is broader than a typical chef's knife; measure your block slot before buying to ensure it seats properly.
