6.5" Cleaver Knife Plastic Handle

816 - Kiwi Brand cleaver knife with a six and a half inch blade and a black plastic handle.

The Kiwi 816 is a lightweight cleaver style knife.  It has a razor sharp 1mm thin blade with a double bevelled cutting edge.  The blade has a narrow design which results in a lightweight and ergonomic cleaver that is especially good when you have a lot of vegetables to prep.

Made with SUS402J2 Japanese high carbon stainless steel which has been hardened and tempered for sharpness with an ergonomic and durable black polypropylene plastic handle.

Keep the blade away from strong acids or alkalis such as fish sauce or vinegar.
Do not use wire wool to clean as it may damage the blade. Wash with a soft sponge and dry immediately.

Avoid putting wooden handled knives in a dishwasher as the high temperature and extended period in water will shrink and dry the wood and will ultimately ruin the knife.

This knife is made with a Japanese high carbon martensitic stainless steel alloy(SUS420J2) which has the benefit of being harder and therefore sharper than many other stainless steels but the trade-off is that they are more prone to staining.

If your knife has a wooden handle, it is recommended to oil the handle occasionally with a food grade oil. The choice of oil is a personal preference however groundnut and rapeseed oil appear to be popular but avoid olive oil as this can go rancid quite quickly. This will help maintain the wood and keep your knife looking like new. Be very careful while doing this to avoid cutting yourself.
