Shun Cutlery Pro Kitchen Cleaver 7in Plain Edge Riveted POM Handle

The Shun Cutlery Pro 7-Inch Kitchen Cleaver is a powerful and essential tool for anyone who frequently works with large cuts of meat or bone-in poultry. This cleaver is designed for heavy-duty use in both professional and home kitchens, providing durability and strength for tasks that require significant force and precision.

Blade and Construction:

The standout feature of this cleaver is its large, thick blade made from DIN1.4116 German steel, known for its toughness and resilience. With a blade length of 7 inches (178mm) and a thickness of 4mm, this cleaver is designed for tasks like chopping through bone, breaking down whole chickens or turkeys, and cutting up large cuts of meat. It can easily separate spareribs, chop meat for stews, or even break bones for stock preparation.

Unlike other kitchen knives, which may struggle with larger and tougher cuts of meat, this cleaver's heavy-duty design ensures it can handle these tasks with ease. The solid weight and thickness of the blade mean it can also be used for other heavy-duty tasks in the kitchen, such as using the back of the blade to tenderize meat. This versatility makes it a must-have tool for serious cooks who need a reliable cleaver for robust food preparation tasks.

The blade’s steel, DIN1.4116, is a high-quality German stainless steel that resists rust and corrosion, ensuring the cleaver remains sharp and strong even after extended use. The durability of this steel allows the cleaver to maintain its sharp edge over time, meaning it can withstand repeated chopping and cutting without losing its effectiveness.

Full-Tang Design and Handle:

The Shun Pro Cleaver features a full-tang construction, meaning the blade extends through the handle, providing superior balance and strength. This design ensures that the cleaver feels sturdy in hand, reducing the risk of breakage or damage, even with prolonged use on dense or tough materials.

The cleaver is equipped with a riveted POM handle. POM (polyoxymethylene) is a high-quality, thermoplastic material known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The rivets in the handle ensure that the grip remains secure, even after years of use. The smooth, comfortable design of the handle ensures that you maintain a secure and ergonomic grip while working, which is crucial when dealing with heavier, more substantial cuts of meat and bones.

Versatility and Functionality:

The Shun Pro 7-inch Cleaver is specifically designed for processing larger cuts of bone-in meat, making it ideal for breaking down whole poultry, separating spareribs, and preparing meats for stews and stocks. The wide blade allows you to chop and cut through dense materials with precision, while the cleaver’s weight makes it easier to work with heavy cuts.

Beyond its primary function as a meat cleaver, the Shun Pro Cleaver can also be used for tasks like tenderizing meat (by using the back of the blade) and crushing ingredients like garlic or ginger. This added versatility makes it a valuable tool in both professional kitchens and for home chefs who need a multipurpose cleaver.

Commercial-Grade Performance:

One of the significant benefits of the Shun Pro 7-inch Cleaver is that it is NSF Certified for use in commercial kitchens. This certification ensures that the cleaver meets the rigorous standards for food safety and sanitation required in professional cooking environments. As a result, you can trust that this cleaver is up to the task of handling frequent, heavy-duty use in both commercial and home kitchens.

Conclusion:

Whether you’re a professional chef or a serious home cook, the Shun Cutlery Pro 7-Inch Kitchen Cleaver will be an invaluable addition to your kitchen. Its sturdy, full-tang construction, high-quality DIN1.4116 German steel blade, and comfortable riveted POM handle provide the durability and strength needed for even the toughest cutting tasks. From breaking down whole poultry to separating spareribs or cutting large cuts of meat, this cleaver offers precision, power, and a long-lasting performance that you can rely on for years.
