835 - Kiwi Brand 6.5 inch cleaver knife with a hardwood handle.

This cleaver knife is a great general purpose knife that will serve all your needs in the kitchen when it comes to slicing, dicing, chopping, mincing and crushing.  It has a super sharp six and a half inch stainless steel blade with a quality hardwood handle.

Lighter weight cleavers knives like this one can be used on meat, vegetables and herbs and are able to perform all slicing, chopping, and mincing jobs with ease.

The wide blade also makes it a convenient tool to use when transferring ingredients from the cutting board to the wok or other cooking pot.

This cleaver knife has a 2mm spine which is medium weight for and will be best for working with poultry though it can also be used for slicing, chopping, and mincing vegetables.

The blade is made from Japanese high carbon martensitic stainless steel (SUS420J2) which has been hardened and tempered for optimal sharpness. This knife has a razor sharp cutting edge and it has a high quality hardwood handle which is secured with brass rivets.

As the handle wood is untreated, it will benefit from the occasional application of a food grade oil to maintain the health of the wood, avoiding shrinkage and keeping the handle looking like new.  See the "knife care" tab for more details.

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.
