The Hakai Chef Cleaver Knife is a forged cleaver in high-carbon stainless steel, built to slice, chop, mince and portion without swapping blades. A 4 mm spine and full tang give it a heavy, stable feel, and the steel is hardened to about 58 HRC for edge retention. The curved rosewood handle has a finger hole for a choked-up grip. It ships with a leather sheath and gift box, which most cleavers in its class do not include. Owners rate it highly for sharpness out of the box and for holding an edge through heavy prep.
