Perfect for both indoor and outdoor cooking enthusiasts, the Bīng Yǔ Huǒ cleaver is handmade in its country of origin, China. It showcases a sizable blade crafted from highly resistant 1080 steel, ensuring remarkable sharpness. The porous kurouchi finish adds a touch of hand-finished elegance. Also included is a faux-leather blade guard for easy storage and transport. This knife is shipped in a temporary kraft-style box, a polypropylene bag, and is oiled for protection.

Cleavers are primarily designed for cutting through thin or soft bones and sinew. For instance, when dealing with a chicken, it excels at chopping through thin bones or separating ribs. Additionally, cleavers prove invaluable in preparing hard vegetables and other foods, like squash, where a thin slicing blade risks shattering.
