This knife is cleaver.
With a sturdy, broad, rectangular blade, this cleaver (also know as a Chinese chef's knife) cuts through meat and hardy vegetables like it’s its job (because it is). Thinner blades run the risk of shattering, but not this clever cleaver. Forged from a single piece of steel, the blade is hand sharpened and polished, while the curved handle is designed for optimum comfort and stability.
