ZWILLING Pro 6-Inch Meat Cleaver Knife – Forged High-Carbon Stainless Steel Blade for Heavy-Duty Chopping

The ZWILLING Pro 6-Inch Meat Cleaver is a German-forged beast that makes short work of ribs, chicken bones, or whole roasts. One single piece of high-carbon stainless steel runs from tip to tang—SIGMAFORGE® construction and FRIODUR® ice-hardening keep the edge scary sharp and practically immune to stains or chips. The curved bolster lets you choke up with a true pinch grip, so the knife control feels effortless even during long prep sessions. Heavy enough to power through cartilage, balanced enough to feel safe in the hand. Whether you’re breaking down a pork shoulder at home or running a busy butcher station, this cleaver turns hard work into clean cuts.
