Nakiyo Heavy-Duty Chinese Cleaver, Rosewood Handle

A bit lighter than a meat cleaver but larger and heavier than most other knives, the Chinese cleaver or Chinese chef's knife is a no-nonsense tool that is favored throughout much of Asia for its versatility. Its rectangular blade is made for up-and-down chopping and can handle a variety of vegetables and proteins. Our rosewood-handled cleaver features a relatively thick, heavy blade that excels at processing meat, but is still capable of delicate vegetable chopping in skilled hands. It is crafted from tough and easy-to-sharpen X50CrMoV15 German stainless steel with a riveted, full-tang handle.
