Pallares Solsona Boxwood Cleaver

Carbon steel is prized for its ability to hold an exceptionally sharp edge and its ease of resharpening. Because it is harder than many stainless steels, it provides the durability needed for heavy-duty butchering and chopping dense vegetables.

Yes. Carbon steel is prone to oxidation, so you must hand wash the blade and dry it thoroughly immediately after use. We recommend applying a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade if you plan to store it for an extended period.

The full tang means the steel extends through the entire length of the boxwood handle, providing superior structural integrity and balance. This design ensures the knife feels stable and secure in your hand during repetitive or high-force tasks.

While this cleaver is robust and well-suited for butchering tasks, it is designed for precision and traditional kitchen use rather than heavy-duty industrial bone-splitting. It excels at preparing large cuts of meat and dense produce with ease.

Boxwood is a dense, fine-grained hardwood known for its durability and resistance to splitting. It provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip that ages beautifully over time with proper care.
