F. Dick 8-inch 2.25-Pound Kitchen Cleaver

Disjointing larger bones and cutting through smaller ones in pork, lamb and beef is the work this 8-inch F. Dick cleaver is built for. Its longer blade and short handle put the weight forward, so it breaks cleanly through bone in a single movement.

That forward balance distinguishes it from the 7-inch model. The blade carries more of the mass, which helps on a pork shoulder or a lamb leg where the cleaver has to pass through a joint and the bone around it. F. Dick forges and balances each cleaver and hand-sharpens the edge.

For a kitchen that breaks down whole pork shoulders or lamb legs, the longer blade clears the bone in a single stroke and leaves a cleaner cut face on the meat.

For lighter work, the 7-inch 2-pound meat cleaver is quicker to lift. The 9-inch 3-pound cleaver takes on denser beef bones. Our kitchen knife shapes guide explains how a meat cleaver differs from a vegetable cleaver.

F. Dick Cleavers and Splitters Compared

Heavier cleavers let the weight of the blade do the work on dense bone; lighter ones are easier to control for repeated chops. Our kitchen knife shapes guide covers meat cleavers.

Care

Wash by hand and dry right away. Use the cleaver on a wood or poly block, never on stone, metal or glass, and keep it off frozen bone, which can chip any edge. A few strokes on a regular cut steel realign the edge between sharpenings; see our honing steel guide.
