Victorinox (Forschner) Chinese curved cleaver 8" x 3" with a walnut handle. A Chinese Cleaver is thinner than the traditional bone cleaver. A Chinese cleaver is used like a chef's knife, and is used ONLY for slicing and chopping vegetables. It is not used to cut bone.
The high carbon, stainless steel blade is hand finished by skilled craftsmen at Victorinox in Switzerland. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again. Each Victorinox knife is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished.
This Victorinox product, which is made in Switzerland, has been marketed in the U.S. under the R.H. Forschner brand name since 1937. As of 2009, it is now being sold in the U.S. under the Victorinox brand name. It was Forschner 40090, and is now Victorinox 40090. The original model number was Forschner SS33.
