The Cuisine::pro® Damashiro® Emperor Cleaver Knife (17 cm/6.5") has been designed and weighted to facilitate heavy chopping. A cleaver can take on heavier root vegetables with more force than a chef's knife or santoku knife. In addition to breaking down tendons and bones, cleavers can also be used to pound, mince, dice, and slice a variety of other foods.
