Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Butcher Knife - Silver/Brown

Specifications of a Chinese-Style Cleaver

Overview
This is a Chinese-style cleaver, also known as a Chinese chef's knife or chopper. It is designed primarily for food preparation, not for heavy bone chopping like a butcher's cleaver.

Typical Specifications

• Blade Length: Usually between 7 to 9 inches (180–230 mm)
• Blade Height: Around 3 to 4 inches (75–100 mm)
• Blade Material: Often high-carbon stainless steel or carbon steel for sharpness and durability
• Blade Thickness: Approximately 2–3 mm at the spine
• Handle Material: Commonly wood with rivets for secure grip
• Weight: Typically 300–450 grams depending on size and material
• Edge Type: Double-beveled, suitable for both left- and right-handed users
• Primary Use: Slicing, dicing, mincing vegetables, meat, and herbs; crushing garlic or ginger with the flat side

Special Notes

• The flat, broad blade can also be used to transfer chopped ingredients from the cutting board to the pan.
• Not intended for cutting through thick bones; a heavier cleaver is recommended for that purpose.
