Think of this as our heavy cleaver's daily-driver sibling. Seven inches instead of seven and a half, less mass in the head, the same military-grade German composite steel alloyed with carbon, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and cobalt, and the same full-tang ebony handle with carved rivets. It suits cooks who want cleaver capability without cleaver commitment.

Anatomy of the tool

Steel

Big-cleaver metallurgy

The alloy is unchanged from our flagship cleaver — the five-element composite that holds an aggressive edge through work that would fold ordinary stainless.

Balance

Quicker in the hand

Trimming the blade to seven inches moves the balance rearward. The result chops vegetables all evening without the forearm knowing about it.

Handle

Ebony, riveted to stay

The carved-rivet ebony handle is the signature of our cleaver family: dense, grippy when wet, and joined to a tang that runs its full length.

In Use

The wok-kitchen workhorse

This is the size Chinese home kitchens have always favored: meat and vegetables on the same board, the wide face ferrying everything to the pan.

From the sharpening bench

Use the blade face as your third hand: smash garlic under the flat, then scoop the whole pile on the steel. The wide blade was designed to carry as well as cut.
