Henckels Cleaver
Henckels Cleaver Info. and Product Description

You must be looking at information on the Henckels cleaver becaues you've already made the decsion that you want quality cutlery. You've made an excellent decision with Henckels because their various cleavers, even the least expensive, are very high quality and with minimal care will last you a lifetime of cooking enjoyment in your family's kitchen.

The first pictured is the International Classic Stainless Steel Meat-Cleaver. The steel on this cleaer is hot drop forged for long lasting durability. It is also a heavy cleaver, six inches in length, so the instrument can do the work for you with it's weight and sharpness, just like a cleaver should. Priced around $40, you can't go wrong. There are some other Henckels cleavers that have a higher quality steel in them, but you really pay extra for that. This is an excellent cleaver for the price, no question.

The next image shows the Twin High Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Meat-Cleaver. Priced at approximately $75, this cleaver has a higher grade of steel. It is ice hardended and brags a laser controlled edge. Handwashing is recommended as a cleaver with this kind of steel needs to be washed and then dried immediately to keep from rusting. You really have to care for this item or could pit or damage it by leaving it wet. Some with arthritis have claimed the squarer handle type can be less comfortable for them, but most users have no problem at all. As a note, the rust issue is probably overstated here, but take care of your high carbon blades.

Let's move to the Henckels Twin Signature 7-Inch Vegetable Cleaver. This is a special purpose cleaver for vegetables and is about $50. As with all the cleavers mentioned so far, this Henckels cleaver has full tang construction with three quality rivets for a lifetime of durability. The 7-Inch cutting edge makes chopping through lots of vegetables easy. It's an excellent item, but you may want to consider on of the other cleavers which can do more of everything and aren't specific to one type of food. Either way, with the quality present you can't really go wrong.

At about $130 we have the last pictured, the Twin Four Star II Meat Cleaver. This cleaver boasts the SIGMAFORGE one piece construction which has increased control and balance due to its nearly perfect geometry. It has a stainless steel handle cap and molded handles. The ice hardened blades are highly resistant to any kind of corrosion. The full "rat tail" tang and the bolster will be an amazing feeling of balance and control. As usual, hand washing is the best option here. If you want unparalleled quality, design, performance, and style, this is an excellent choice.
