SUISUN VALLEY CLEAVER
A LABRADO FORGE EXCLUSIVE
The Suisun Valley Cleaver is a true farm-to-table tool of culinary art. They are hand forged from high carbon steel sourced from retired tractor plow discs. The handles are sourced from 100+ year-old walnut trees from the Glashoff ranch in the beautiful Suisun Valley, which has a rich agricultural history pre-dating the gold rush era.
Each cleaver is similar but as they are hand-made, each is unique from the characteristics of the walnut handles to the hand texturing on the blade cheeks to slight differences in weight and dimension of the overall knives. They come in two basic sizes and are usually made to order.
SMALL:
12-12 ½” overall with a 6- 6 ½” blade
3/16” - ¼” thickness at the spine
weight: about 2 lbs
$400
LARGE:
14”-15” overall length with blade length ~7”-8”
3/16”- ¼” thickness at the spine
weight: 2 ½ to 3 lbs
