DAO VUA 180mm V3 52100 Kiri Cleaver

Among those who explore beyond Japanese-made kitchen knives, the brand Dao Vua is often a name encountered on the internet. Originating from Hanoi, Vietnam, Dao Vua knives are impressively handcrafted by Vietnamese bladesmiths using high-quality materials. Despite their humble and sustainable production process, these knives stand out due to their high build quality and sharpness, offered at a very affordable price point. However, they require careful maintenance, as being carbon steel with a kurouchi finish, they oxidize easily.

Dao Vua has introduced its third iteration "V3", to address concerns regarding the consistency of their final products. The V3 line now sources 52100 carbon steel from the US, ensuring the uniformity and quality of the finished product.

For the price the knife is very good, but with a little work the knife becomes amazing. The handle, blade taper, and balance are great. With an hour of work on the blade to round the spine and choile, then polishing the bevel to show the hamon makes the knife perfect.

Great light cleaver

This is a great knife from Dao Vua - large, sturdy, and sharp without being too thick behind the edge. I wouldn't use this for chopping through pork bones as it's carbon steel and thinner than many cleavers, but the k-tip and thinness allow for a fair amount of detail work and the large blade is excellent for mashing and scooping.

DAO VUA 52100 kiri cleaver

Really like this knife. My sixth DAO VUA knife. The knife has some "heft" to it as compared a traditional knife which makes chopping large and hard vegetables a breeze. Fairly sharp out of the box but a few minutes on the 3000 grit stone and then stroping with green compound and razor sharp. Being a cleaver the blade a bit thick behind the edge but keep it sharp and it is a really good chopper.
