SUNLONG Meat Cleaver

No, this is a slicing cleaver designed for meats and vegetables. While the steel is durable with a 60± HRC hardness, it is not intended for hacking through bone or frozen foods, which could damage the fine 15° edge.

The hammered finish creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This reduces suction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the side of the knife while you slice.

To keep the walnut wood in good condition, avoid soaking the knife in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help nourish the wood and prevent it from drying out.

The leather sheath is excellent for protecting the blade edge when stored in a drawer. Ensure the blade is completely clean and dry before sheathing it to prevent any moisture-related corrosion.

Thanks to the high-quality Damascus steel and 60± HRC hardness, the blade holds its edge significantly longer than standard kitchen knives. With regular honing, you should only need to perform a full sharpening once or twice a year depending on your frequency of use.

At 780 grams, this cleaver has a substantial, weighted feel that provides momentum for clean cuts. The ergonomic walnut handle is designed to balance this weight, offering a comfortable grip that minimizes hand fatigue during extended prep sessions.
