The Chinese cleaver is a useful tool for slicing, dicing, and chopping both meat and vegetables. In Chinese culture, a single knife is traditionally used for all kitchen tasks, which is why the cleaver is also referred to as the Chinese chef’s knife. A good cleaver can perform nearly all the tasks that would otherwise require an entire set of different knives, from precise slicing and dicing to splitting a whole chicken or cutting large vegetables.
The large rectangular blade combined with a significantly heavier weight than other knives creates an excellent knife that offers both strength and precision. The ONYX COOKWARE™ CLEAVER is especially versatile, as it is suitable for both large, powerful motions such as cleaving and fine, precise movements such as chopping and slicing.
The ONYX COOKWARE™ CLEAVER is designed for comfort and easy maneuverability with its ergonomic handle, meaning you can chop vegetables and meat for hours without discomfort.
