Knife Cleaver FAQs

What Is a Mini-Steak Cleaver Used For?

Designed to be used as a steak knife, mini-steak cleavers can be used for a multitude of tasks, including: 

• Slicing through boneless meats

• Splitting tough vegetables open

• Crushing garlic 

• Transferring food from one chopping board to another 

Are Mini-Steak Cleavers Good For Cutting Meat? 

Yes. Meat cleavers are perfect for tasks that require a powerful up/down chopping motion like breaking down meat and bone. They are also great for chopping large, firm vegetables. 

What Is The Hole For? 

One feature you may have noticed about our mini-steak cleaver is the perfectly shaped hole in the blade. The purpose of this hole is to allow chefs to hang the knife cleaver on a nearby hook or even attach it to their belt when not in use. As a favourite kitchen tool, it makes sense that a chef would want easy access to their knife cleaver. 

How Do You Maintain Your Meat Cleaver? 

We recommend that you avoid soaking your knife cleaver fully as it can warp the handle and dull the blade. Instead, clean and dry your knife immediately after use. Remember to store it in such a way that it won’t bump into other knives or surfaces as this can dull the edges of the cleaver.

What Are The Benefits Of Using a Knife Cleaver?

Our mini-steak cleavers are perfect for sectioning meat from the bone. This is down to the way that the knife is built. Its large sharp blade edge is designed to cut away flesh from the bone including fat and if necessary, the skin. The knife cleaver’s thick blade also makes it great for carrying out more heavy-duty tasks in the kitchen.
