World-renowned French chef Michel Bras believes cooking, like any art, requires the finest tools. Created in Japan in collaboration with Kai, the producer of Shun knives, this tool is a combination kitchen knife and cleaver that excels for chopping meats and preparing poultry as well as cutting large vegetables.

• One-third of the blade nearest the handle is the widest, while the remaining two-thirds is honed to the edge of a kitchen knife.
• Hand assembled to exacting specifications.
• Matte-finish blade is composed of three stainless-steel layers: a hardened VG-10 core sandwiched between two layers of more flexible steel for increased durability and resistance.
• Blade is coated in titanium to enhance its antioxidation properties.
• Etched with a unique serial number and Bras's signature emblem of cistre, the delicate Alpine fennel that grows in the hills above his Aubrac restaurant.
• For quick identification, the handle is inscribed with the knife item number (#10), signifying the blade's form and function.
• Black PakkaWood handle is designed in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.
• Comes in a maple sheath with a magnetized interior that holds the blade snugly in place for safe drawer storage.
