Dexter Traditional 7" Carbon Steel Meat Cleaver
The Industrial Standard for Professional Butchery When it comes to heavy-duty butchering, weight and steel integrity are non-negotiable. The Dexter Russell Traditional 7" Carbon Steel Cleaver (SKU 8070) is not a delicate kitchen tool; it is a 1.5-pound industrial instrument designed for the rigorous demands of restaurant kitchens and commercial butcher shops. Crafted in the United States, this cleaver belongs to the 'Traditional' line, a series that has defined American cutlery for generations. The blade is forged from high-carbon steel, a material favored by professional butchers for its unique ability to take a screaming-sharp edge and maintain it through repetitive impacts. Unlike stainless steel, this carbon blade will develop a characteristic patina over time—a badge of honor that signals its history and use. At a weight of 1.5 lbs, the tool does the work for you. Whether you are splitting poultry, breaking down ribs, or chopping through thick-skinned root vegetables, the 4.5-inch blade width provides the stability and momentum required for clean, decisive strokes. The handle, made from classic American Beechwood, is secured with heavy-duty rivets, offering a tactile, slip-resistant grip that warms to the hand during extended use.
