Cleaver

A western heavy butcher’s cleaver is built for high-impact cutting tasks. Its thick, weighty blade delivers the force needed to split bones, cut through joints, and portion dense or frozen products. The broad profile provides stability and keeps the edge from binding, while the flat blade face is easy to guide in straight, controlled chops. Durable and straightforward, it’s a primary tool for heavy-duty butchery work.

  • This is a stainless steel knife.
  • It should be hand washed and towel dried. Dishwashers will degrade the edge and handle over time. Extended moisture exposure can still cause oxidation.
  • Use on wooden cutting boards for best results.
  • Avoid hard surfaces like bamboo or plates. Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Medium - Western Stainless

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.
