S35VN Basic Cleavers
$330.00 – $380.00Price range: $330.00 through $380.00MADE TO ORDER
This is a very limited release of S35VN steel knives. This steel is a high vanadium tool steel created in 2009 as a replacement for S30V and is something of a precursor to the ever popular MagnaCut.
S35VN has toughness roughly in line with CPM-154 (RWL-34) and XHP and approximately double the toughness of SG2 and VG10 with similar edge retention to S30V, MagnaCut, Zwear and CPM-154.
Its carbide composition is very similar to Zwear with a limited amount of vanadium/niobium carbide so unlike MagnaCut I would consider this steel fully serviceable on convention synthetic or natural stones just like Zwear (which sharpens just beautifully off of my Belgian Blue whetstone).
This item is a very limited release because there was only a singular sheet of thin S35VN available for sale in Canada at the time of purchase. Furthermore this sheet was purchased prior to the reciprocal tariff situation making it approximately 25%-33% less expensive than it would be to purchase the same sheet today.
The knives will be as follows:
- 220mm x 110mm
- S35VN @ roughly 63hrc
- neckless
- roughly 350g-380g finished weight
- with the same finish as my AEB-L “Basic Models” Cleavers
- there will most likely be dimples from peen straightening
- Low bevels, convex, belt finished
- radiused spines and choils
- two handle sizing options available as well as a multitude of woods including the standard burned oak
- “No handle” option available if you have your own (please leave handle slot size H+W in the order notes so I can cut it to the right size for you)
- lead time of approximately 8 weeks on these, hopefully much less

205mm MagnaCut Gyuto
$516.00Prices are Tariff Inclusive
A 205mm MagnaCut gyuto
This 205mm MagnaCut gyuto features a very thin blade with a full convex grind that serves to optimize food release. Colloquially known as “lasers” very thin chef’s knives have a somewhat niche following of diehard adherents who believe “laser” geometry to be superior to all others, and if you’ve ever felt one glide through a potato on only its own weight you’d find it hard to disagree. Food release is of course somewhat impeded in comparison to more workhorse style blades, but the full convex geometry is intended to mitigate that as far as possible.
Blade Details
Blade: 205mmx50mm MagnaCut (~63hrc) belt finish
Neck: 18mmx18mm
Handle: Bolivian Rosewood mono, oil finished and waxed
POB: 24mm from the handle
Spine: 2.21mm at the handle, 1.88mm at halfway, .71mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: full convex 50/50 bias
Weight: 132g
Relieved choil and spine
Edge: .17mm@1mm, .25mm@2mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint
