Kleene — Handmade Chef's Cleaver with Leather Cover

A hand-forged chef's cleaver with a wide, weighty blade and its own leather cover. Built for breaking down meat and powering through vegetables.

A cleaver is the workhorse of a butcher-minded kitchen. This one is handmade with a broad, forged blade that has the heft to chop through joints and the flat face to crush garlic and scoop up a whole board of chopped onions. The handle is shaped for a secure grip, and it comes with a fitted leather cover so the edge stays protected in a drawer or on the road.

Why you'll love it

Who this is for

• Grillers, smokers and camp cooks
• A standout gift for the cook who has every regular knife

Care

Hand wash and dry immediately; never put it in the dishwasher. Wipe a thin coat of food-safe oil on the blade and handle now and then, and store it in its cover. Hone regularly to keep the edge keen.
