The cleaver is an excellent tool for any cook, professional or not. Thanks to its wide blade, you will be able to cut your meats and also chop small bones from fish and poultry, tendons, and tough tissues. This cleaver features a special hole so you can hang it on a hook for storage.
Blade Material
The blade is made from a single piece of surgical steel containing chromium-molybdenum-vanadium (X50 Cr MoV 15).
X50 Cr MoV 15 is a widely used steel in many kitchen knives, and its composition includes approximately 0.5% carbon (X50), which provides hardness to the knife's edge, and approximately 15% chromium (Cr), which offers corrosion resistance.
Additionally, it contains a small percentage of molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V), which provide improved wear resistance and edge retention.
Handle
The handle is made of durable synthetic material which offers durability, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Cutting board
It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.
Cleaning
Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.
For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.
It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.
Sharpening
No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, something you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.
You can determine if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a sheet of paper. Conversely, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and the cut will be jagged.
It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade's edge and to maintain its sharpness.
