This knife is a real heavyweight. Originally designed for Asian cuisine, the Chinese cleaver has long since gained popularity in European kitchens. And no wonder: the rather exotic-looking model is both highly versatile and very practical. In appearance, the Chinese cleaver is very similar to an axe – especially due to its extremely wide blade, which is almost twice as long as it is wide and thus ideal for cutting or chopping through sinew and bones. What’s more, the front edge of the blade is extremely sharp and popular amongst professional and amateur chefs for chopping fish and meat. This is a powerful addition to any knife set and opens up a whole new range of preparation styles.\n\nThe knives in the Grand Gourmet collection are a highlight in any kitchen. Made entirely from stainless steel, they are not only stylish, but also come with a range of exclusive extras: for example, the Cromargan® handles ensure a secure grip and their seamless design guarantees optimum hygiene. When cutting, the bolster provides the necessary balance between handle and blade, giving a whole new meaning to the expression ‘cutting-edge’: high-grade special blade steel is forged in the traditional way along the entire length of the blade and then finished using Performance Cut technology. The Grand Gourmet series includes classics such as an all-purpose knife, a chef’s knife and a bread knife as well as a boning, fillet and Santoku knife. Incidentally, the stainless steel handles are ideal for engraving – allowing you to make each knife unmistakably your own or a highly personalised gift.\n\n- Total length: 28.5 cm, blade length: 15 cm / Item number: 1880426032 - Other knife types and set combinations are available for this knife collection\n- Material: Forged blade made of rust-free and acid resistant speciality blade steel.
