Whether it’s chopping, pounding, mincing, slicing or dicing, our cleaver is a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to its heft and razor-sharp double-beveled blade, you get perfectly honed power with every move. From prepping harder vegetables, like butternut squash and turnips, to breaking down proteins, tendons and bones, it makes quick work of tasks that can be too much for a chef’s or santoku knife. Plus, the cleaver’s contoured Pakkawood handle puts stability and control in the palm of your hand. Hybrid construction combines fundamental Japanese knife-making techniques with durable German engineering principles. The cleaver’s thick blade effortlessly cuts through meat, bone and hard vegetables. Forged blades comprise 67 layers of Japanese Damascus steel for a harder blade–a 60+ Rockwell rating. Meticulously hand-sharpened by craftspeople using the three-step Honbazuke method–a sharpening process that results in a super-sharp, 12-degree edge. Stunning green Pakkawood handle–infused with resin to increase resistance to cracking–is contoured for amazing comfort and grip. Steel bolster and full hybrid tang construction improve balance for a more controlled cut. *Free shipping to contiguous US

That double-beveled edge makes quick work of mincing garlic and slicing through butternut squash without any wedging. The heft gives it a balanced feel that really lets the blade do the work.
Joshua★★★★★
I was worried the weight would be too much, but the double-beveled blade actually makes chopping through squash feel effortless and controlled.
Matthew★★★★★
This cleaver handled dicing butternut squash without any wedging or sticking, which my old knife always struggled with. The weight feels perfectly balanced for controlled chopping, and the edge is incredibly sharp right out of the box. Really glad I went with this size for everyday prep work.
Adam★★★★★
Used it to break down a whole chicken and it sliced through joints like butter, no sawing needed. The weight makes chopping herbs feel effortless too.
George★★★★★
The 7-inch blade has that satisfying heft that makes chopping through butternut squash feel effortless, and the double-beveled edge holds its razor sharpness way longer than my old chef's knife. I also love how the flat side works for smashing garlic cloves flat without any shattering.
Henry★★★★★
Been using this for a week straight and the double-beveled blade glides through butternut squash like it's butter — no cracking or sticking. The heft feels perfectly balanced in my hand for precise mincing.
Zoe U.★★★★★
Just got this cleaver and the first thing I noticed was how perfectly balanced it feels in my hand—makes chopping through butternut squash feel effortless. The double-beveled edge is still razor sharp after breaking down a whole chicken and dicing a pile of onions.
George★★★★★
After a month of heavy use, the razor-sharp edge still glides through butternut squash like it's butter. Spatchcocking a chicken was honestly fun for once—the double-beveled blade made quick work of those ribs.
Julian F.★★★★★
The heft of this cleaver is just right—I can chop through butternut squash without any rocking, and the razor-sharp edge slices through chicken bones cleanly. It’s already replaced three of my old knives in the kitchen.
Stella J.★★★★★
I was skeptical about a cleaver being good for fine work, but the double-beveled edge lets me mince garlic just as cleanly as it chops through butternut squash. The heft really does all the work for you, making quick work of a whole chicken.
