K Sabatier No 26 12" Butcher's Leaf Cleaver Carbon

K Sabatier 12" butcher's leaf cleaver. Carbon steel blade with a turned boxwood handle.

A large thin bladed cleaver that is used to finish cuts where joints need separation.

Please note, these can have cosmetic scratches or small imperfections in handles which will not impede the performance of the knife. This is par for the course on these knives and is part of how they sell them for a very reasonable price.

Since 1834, K Sabatier has been the dedicated brand of Sabatier Aine & Perrier, a family cutlery business started by Philippe Sabatier in the early 1800’s. The business has been passed down 8 generations, and has remained located in the hills of Thiers, France in the village of Bellevue. They continue to run their company with pride and precision, keeping all aspects of the manufacturing process within the area of Thiers.

Not stainless so care must be taken to avoid rust; wipe dry during heavy use and or after washing (soap is OK, avoid using the abrasive side of sponge if possible) always avoid dishwashers and soaking.
