It's especially useful for processing vegetables. especially larger ones such as cabbage. Yet this cleaver is nimble enough for almost every kind of cutting and slicing. from fruits and vegetables to a full array of proteins. The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver feels solid. yet Shun's thinner blade makes it easy to handle so food preparation is a pleasure. The Shun Classic Vegetable Cleaver isn't for use on joints or bones; a Meat Cleaver is made for that.
