CLASSIC MEAT CLEAVER

The Classic Meat Cleaver is a full-sized cleaver designed for strength, controlled power and precise handling. Its 9-inch blade provides the size and weight required for demanding meat preparation, while the purpose-designed handle and balanced construction allow accurate, responsive movements.

The cleaver features a full-tang construction, with the steel extending through the entire handle. Combined with its 7 mm spine, this creates an exceptionally tough and durable knife capable of withstanding repeated heavy work.

The blade has a graduated profile that is slightly thinner at the front than at the rear. This construction helps combine cutting control at the front of the blade with additional strength and leverage toward the heel.

The blade uses German 1.4116 stainless steel hardened to HRC 56–58. This steel was selected for its combination of durability, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The cutting edge is sharpened to 25 degrees to balance cutting performance with edge strength.

Each handle is made from solid Italian olive wood or American walnut and individually shaped and finished by hand. Its multi-dimensional shape provides a secure, natural grip designed to reduce unnecessary hand pressure and contribute to the cleaver’s balanced, responsive feel.

Stainless-steel handle caps provide strength and act as a counterweight, helping balance the cleaver from blade to handle.

Each knife is individually hand-finished and supplied in a premium storage box.

CARE

Wash the cleaver by hand with warm water and mild detergent and dry it thoroughly after use. Do not place it in a dishwasher. The blade does not require oiling and is suitable for normal food preparation, including acidic ingredients.

Natural hardwood handles require no routine oiling. If desired, an occasional application of food-safe oil can be used to enhance the natural grain and appearance of the timber.
