An American-made version of the classic Chinese-style cleaver, this knife can make quick work of everything from vegetables to fine herbs to a full chicken. The blade is handcrafted from high-carbon stainless steel, which is known for its strength and resistance to corrosion, and is ground with an 18- to 20-degree angle for more edge durability. Plus, the blade belly is gently curved unlike many other Chinese cleavers, so it’s ideal for rock chopping and mincing. The barrel handle carved from ultrahard walnut is comfortable and well-suited to any hand size, and it’s impermeable to water damage. The blade also features double-sided edging—so it works well for left and right hand users.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
This all-purpose cleaver is ideal for cutting anything and everything—not just vegetables.
Hand-wash only to preserve the edge.
The oldest manufacturer of cutlery in the United States, Lamson has been crafting high-quality knives from its outpost in Massachusetts since 1837. In 1869, president Ulysses S. Grant was given a full 62-piece Lamson dinner set as a gift to celebrate his new election into office, which is still on display today at the Smithsonian—evidence of Lamson’s enduring quality. Now, Lamson still employs artisans to handcraft every piece with the utmost care and craftsmanship.
