4.74 Stars (80 reviews)

A purpose-built butcher's cleaver. The 7-inch blade is solid German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless steel, hardened to 56-58 HRC and ground to 15° per side over a full tang. This is a bone chopper, not a vegetable cleaver — it is rated for chicken and duck with bone, ribs, pork joints and feet, cartilage and fish heads, where the 393g head and 2.2mm spine do the work.

DESCRIPTION

This is the heavy hitter of your collection. When you need to break down a whole chicken, chop through pork ribs, or tackle tough squash, leave your delicate Chef Knife in the block and grab the Butcher’s Cleaver. It is built for the jobs that require force.

Power and Durability

Designed with a thicker spine and a heavier blade, this cleaver uses momentum to do the work for you. It’s weighted to power through small bones, joints, and cartilage without hesitation. Whether you're separating ribs or splitting a pumpkin, this blade gives you the confidence to chop with authority.

Built to Take a Beating

This blade is crafted from classic German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless steel. This is the trusted workhorse steel found in professional kitchens, specifically chosen here for its impact resistance and toughness. The full-tang construction means one solid piece of steel runs from the blade's tip to the handle's end, ensuring the knife won't fail under heavy use. The classic red wood handle is secured with stainless steel rivets, providing a secure, comfortable grip when you need it most.

The cleaver built to go through bone

The Supreme Series 7" Butcher's Cleaver is the heavy-duty workhorse of the range. Solid German 1.4116 monosteel, a 393g head and a 15° per side edge let it split chicken and duck on the bone, ribs, pork joints and fish heads — the jobs that wreck a thin chef's knife. No Damascus pattern, no delicate cladding, just a tough monosteel blade made to take impact.

Mass and toughness, where you need it

Why this cleaver

Mass and toughness, where you need it

A 393g head carries momentum through bone so your wrist does less work. The 2.2mm spine and 56-58 HRC monosteel are tuned for impact resistance rather than glass-hard brittleness — the right trade-off for a tool that chops joints and cartilage. Full-tang construction runs the steel through the Red Wood handle for balance and a blade that won't loosen under load.

The steel

Solid German 1.4116, vacuum heat treated

The blade is solid German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) molybdenum-vanadium stainless — a single tough monosteel, not san-mai or Damascus. Vacuum heat treatment brings it to 56-58 HRC, a deliberately mid-range hardness that favours impact resistance and easy resharpening over outright edge hardness. That is exactly what a bone chopper wants: an edge that takes a knock without chipping.

Finger-safe heel, full-tang balance

In the hand

Finger-safe heel, full-tang balance

The handle is Red Wood over a full tang, fixed with stainless steel rivets. The blade heel uses a rounded-arc, seamless S-curve design so there's no sharp corner against your fingers during repeated chopping. At 393g the weight sits forward, so the cleaver falls through the cut rather than relying on force.

FAQs

Can this cleaver chop through bone?

Yes. It is a purpose-built bone chopper, rated for chicken and duck on the bone, ribs, pork joints and feet, cartilage and fish heads. The 393g head and tough 56-58 HRC monosteel are made for that impact.

Is this a vegetable cleaver?

No. It is a butcher's bone chopper, not a thin Chinese vegetable cleaver (caidao). Use a thinner blade for fine veg slicing; use this for breaking down meat and bone.

Is the blade Damascus?

No. It is solid German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless monosteel — a single tough steel with no cladding and no Damascus pattern. That is the right choice for a chopping tool that needs impact resistance.

What steel and hardness is it?

Solid German 1.4116 molybdenum-vanadium stainless, vacuum heat treated to 56-58 HRC. The mid-range hardness favours toughness and easy resharpening over brittleness — ideal for chopping bone.

What's the edge angle?

15±1° per side, with a full-tang build and stainless steel rivets through the Red Wood handle.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No — hand wash only. Wash and dry it by hand to protect the edge and the Red Wood handle.

How heavy is it?

The cleaver weighs 393g. That forward weight is deliberate — it carries the head through bone so you use less force.
