  • Chopping vegetables, herbs, and aromatics with precision and speed
  • Crushing garlic and spices using the flat side of the blade
  • Tackling medium-duty meat prep without the weight of a full cleaver
  • Perfect for smaller kitchens or cooks who want cleaver versatility in a manageable size

This is the 6″ Smaller cousin of the 8″ Large Chinese Santoku Cleaver. This great knife is your answer to it all! “Chop, cut, crush, whatever!”

The Large size has a 8″ Blade while this version has a 6″ blade. This may not sound like a big difference, but believe me it is different. The 6″ blade is just that smaller enough for those who don’t need a large cleaver/chopper, but still want to be able to do the same things that the bigger one does.

We also have a SET available of both the LARGE and SMALL cleavers at a discounted price (56562). Check it out here

To protect your cleavers we suggest our American made and crafted Leather Sheaths from 12oz Wickett and Craig English vegetable tanned bridle leather. Extra strong Brass Rivets and Snap keep the sheath firmly in place for storage.

As is the nature of handmade goods created from natural materials, you may experience minor variations in shape color and appearance. These normal variations add character and uniqueness to your handmade leather product.

LEATHER SHEATH (52819) SOLD SEPARATELY

Constructed from superior USA Hi-Carbon Stainless Steel, our full-tang Vintage blades are cut, ground, polished and sharpened in our Massachusetts facilities. Handle scales of Walnut or Midnight (Black G-10) are assembled to the blades with brass or nickel-silver rivets and then the knives are meticulously finished and sharpened.

The Vintage Series features updated ergonomically friendly hand-finished Walnut or Midnight (Black G-10) handles that have a traditional, timeless look and feel. The sleek integrated bolster allows for a traditional or pinch-grip. The brass rivets complement the Walnut handle, while the nickel-silver rivets complement the Midnight handle and accents the stainless-steel blade.

Features

  • Signature craftsmanship. Meticulously formed in our Massachusetts facilities, each of our knives is finished to perfection using state-of-the-art technology coupled with hand finishing as well as proprietary polishing and sharpening processes.
  • Unmatched quality. Blades are formed from superior USA Hi-Carbon Stainless Steel. Knives come with a choice of sleek and sturdy handles of Walnut or Midnight (Black-G-10).
  • Durable design. Our blades are precision laser cut and tempered to a hardness of 58 on the Rockwell scale. This results in a hard, wickedly sharp blade that retains an edge for longer and is both highly corrosion resistant and elastic.
  • Superior cutting performance. Full tang blades with double brass or nickel-silver riveted handles ensure ideal balance and weight. Our combination machine and hand-sharpening processes ensures a consistently sharp and durable edge.
  • Superior ergonomic handling. A curved and recessed integrated bolster provides a seamless transition from handle to blade, resulting in comfortable thumb and finger support for better control and safety. If you use a traditional or advanced “pinch-grip”, you will love the feel and function of these knives.
  • Lifetime Warranty. Every Lamson product comes with a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects.
  • Guaranteed Reliability. Our Sharp for Life™ program supplies a lifetime of complimentary professional sharpening on every knife we make.

Love it

Out of complete impulse I purchased this from a local Knife truck. As soon as I saw this beauty I was sold. This knife is well balanced and comfortable in hand. The blade makes easy work of slicing vegetables, ribs, beef and poultry.
