Yoshihiro High Carbon White Steel #2 Meat Cleaver Multipurpose Chef Knife

This Yoshihiro High Carbon White Steel #2 Meat Cleaver is a formidable tool, purpose-built for heavy-duty tasks in both professional and home kitchens. Forged from a single piece of high carbon White Steel #2, it offers superior strength and edge retention, making it a powerful choice for breaking down poultry, cutting through bones, and tackling robust root vegetables. This cleaver’s weight of approximately 20 oz and extra-thick blade provide the heft needed to handle tough butchery jobs, setting it apart from lighter, more versatile Chinese cleavers typically reserved for vegetables.

Masterfully sharpened by Japanese artisans, this cleaver also performs beautifully on large vegetables and herbs, showcasing both precision and power. The blade is paired with a Western-style premium Rosewood handle that extends to the knife’s full tang, ensuring durability and a comfortable grip that molds effortlessly to the hand for smooth handling.

This cleaver’s design includes a practical hole near the spine, allowing for easy hanging storage. While traditionally known as a butcher’s tool, this razor-sharp cleaver elevates a variety of tasks, from separating whole chickens to preparing farm-fresh produce, blending functionality with an aesthetic appeal that enhances every culinary experience.
