Noseto Hikari Cleaver 210mm 3-Layer 440C Composite Steel with Red Wood Handle

Bold, Versatile & Built for Everyday Kitchen Preparation

The Noseto Hikari Cleaver 210mm is a substantial all-purpose vegetable cleaver designed for chefs who appreciate a wide blade, excellent cutting control, and a solid feel in the hand.

Featuring a 3-layer composite steel construction with a 440C stainless steel core, the Hikari combines reliable sharpness, corrosion resistance, and durability in a practical kitchen design.

Hardened to 58–60 HRC, the blade provides a good balance between edge retention and toughness, making it suitable for everyday preparation of vegetables, herbs, meat, and other ingredients.

3-Layer 440C Composite Steel

At the heart of the blade is a 440C stainless steel core, a high-carbon stainless steel known for its good hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.

The 440C core contains approximately 0.85–0.95% carbon, along with chromium and molybdenum, helping provide a durable cutting edge and excellent resistance to staining and corrosion.

After high-temperature heat treatment, the blade is hardened to approximately 58–60 HRC, providing a practical balance between sharpness, durability, and ease of maintenance.

The traditional 3-layer cladding construction surrounds the 440C core, creating a strong and stable blade structure.

Wide Blade for Efficient Preparation

The 210mm cleaver profile provides a generous cutting surface and excellent control when preparing large quantities of ingredients.

The substantial blade design is particularly well suited to:

• Chopping vegetables
• Slicing vegetables and herbs
• Preparing boneless meat
• Cutting larger ingredients
• Scooping and transferring ingredients from the cutting board

Its broad blade makes it easy to gather and transfer chopped ingredients, while the substantial construction gives the knife a confident, stable feel during preparation.

Important: This cleaver is designed for kitchen preparation and should not be used to chop through bones or frozen food.

Premium Red Wood Handle

The handle is crafted from solid red wood and finished with a copper rivet for a classic and durable construction.

The wood is carefully polished through multiple stages to create a smooth, comfortable surface that sits naturally in the hand.

The substantial handle complements the large blade, providing a balanced and secure grip while maintaining the robust character of the Hikari Cleaver.
