Babish Cleaver

While this cleaver is robust and designed for heavy-duty tasks like breaking down poultry or fish, it is not a heavy-duty butcher's cleaver intended for hacking through thick, dense bones. It is best used for disjointing and general prep work.

The double-bolstered design adds weight to the handle, which helps balance the blade. This provides better control and a more secure grip when you are performing precise chopping or heavy-duty tasks.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can damage the steel and degrade the handle material, so you should always hand wash and dry it immediately after use.

Full-tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This construction provides superior strength, durability, and better balance compared to knives where the blade is only partially inserted into the handle.

This cleaver features a 13-degree edge angle, which is quite sharp for a tool of this size. It is designed to offer a balance between precision cutting and the durability needed for tougher ingredients.
