Wusthof Classic Cleaver, 7-Inch

Unlike heavy cleavers used for butchering, the 7" Wusthof Classic Cleaver is lighter in weight with a thinner blade. With plenty of width for chopping through large vegetables including cabbage, lettuce and squash, plus boneless meats, the 7" cleaver is ideal for quick, efficient kitchen prep. Handcrafted in Germany, the Wusthof Classic Chinese cleaver is precision forged from a single piece of specially tempered high-carbon rust-free steel for exceptional strength, then skillfully honed by hand to razor sharpness. The tapered 14-degree cutting edge on each side of the meat cleaver ensures seamless, effortless slicing without a heavy drag when preparing stir-fries, chicken and fish dishes and vegetable trays.Hand-buffed virtually indestructible full tang handle is triple-riveted for superior strength and durability and ensures a firm, comfortable grip for smooth maneuverability. Wusthof Classic cleaver inner ring anode safeguards rivets from rust. A slight curve enhances the balance of the ultra-sharp blade that sharpens easily and holds an edge. Signature to Wusthof cutlery is the precision bolster, allowing the heft and balance for expert gourmet food preparation. New Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) has increased sharpness by 20% with twice the edge retention.Handmade in Germany since 1814, Wusthof cutlery is prized by the world's best chefs for restaurant and home cooking. Crafted in the world's "Cutlery Capital" of Solingen, Germany, the 7" cleaver bears the Wusthof name and the Trident logo.
