Handmade in its origin country of China, this large cleaver is made from rust resistant stainless steel. Inspired from the first version, the 2.0 model has a slightly modified balance and shape to optimize the users experience.
Cleavers are primarily used for cutting through thin or soft bones and sinew. With a chicken, for example, it can be used to chop through the thin bones or to separate ribs. Cleavers can also be used in preparation of hard vegetables and other foods, such as squash, where a thin slicing blade runs the risk of shattering.
