Professional cleavers are designed to help you chop up foods swiftly and with minimal effort. Our selection of professional cleavers features both meat cleavers and chinese cleavers which look similar but actually have different functions. The Chinese cleaver is generally used to slice boneless meats, chop, slice, dice, and mince vegetables, while the meat cleaver is used for cutting through bone and sinew. Cleavers feature a resilient edge that is made to hack directly into thick meat, dense cartilage and bone. Cleavers are generally made of tough metal and have a thick blade so they can be used to crush using the side of the blade.
