The Dalstrong Gladiator Series 9” Chinese cleaver is not just for slicing up fish and meats — it’s also highly versatile and proficient at dicing, mincing, and chopping vegetables and fruits. In fact, this cleaver gets its name from the classic cleaver shape but the blade is thinner and lighter than traditional cleavers, making it better suited for vegetable prep. In professional kitchens, this knife is a favorite when slicing julienne style. The broad blade makes it an excellent bench scraper as well, for transferring all those nicely sliced vegetables from the board to the pan.
The classic rectangle-shaped blade is an impressive 4.3” deep, by 9” long so you can chop, slice, and transfer foods with ease. It’s precision forged from high carbon, high chromium 7CR17MOV steel, rated at 56+ Rockwell hardness and sharpened to 16-18° per side. Featuring a beautiful, ergonomic and ambidextrous black, G10 Garolite handle, highly impervious to heat, cold and moisture, the Gladiator Series Chinese cleaver is thoughtfully designed for maximum control and effectiveness.
