It is designed for processing beef, pork and poultry, including the bones, tendons and other tough tissue that an ordinary kitchen knife is not made for. It handles fish too, from removing the head of a large fish to chopping it into steaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from a single layer of \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. This hardness gives you a practical balance: the edge holds up to regular chopping, and when it needs attention, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. As a stainless steel, AUS-8 is corrosion-resistant, but you should still wash and dry the cleaver soon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e has a factory sharpening angle of \u003cstrong\u003e40°\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to this wide angle, the cleaver copes with fairly large bones, tendons and other hard tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe silver handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and shaped like a bamboo stem, the signature of the series. Together with the steel blade, it gives the cleaver a completely metal design. The cleaver weighs 347 g and measures 311 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping beef, pork and poultry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting through bones, tendons and other tough tissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing a chicken for stuffing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving the head of a large fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping fish into steaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the cleaver with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave it in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Store the cleaver in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items, use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory sharpening angle of 40°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Bamboo series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bamboo\"\u003eBamboo series\u003c\/a\u003e is known for its full metal body: AUS-8 steel blades paired with stainless steel handles shaped like a bamboo stem.
