Meat Cleaver

When it comes to chopping through tough cartilage and bone, your fine blades play second fiddle to this knife. Made by a company with 150 years experience in crafting American-made cutlery, this meat cleaver features hardened and tempered high-carbon stainless steel that's got a fine beveled edge. It's designed to split through meat with ease, and has an easy grip, thanks to a durable, thick walnut handle that's triple riveted.

With a history dating back to 1837, these guys are the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States. They put every year of experience into their kitchen goods, offering top-quality production from their home in Massachusetts.
