Hands chopping chicken with Knifz cleaver knife

Prep. Chop. Serve.

Knifz cleaver knife in use

We've Rebuilt the Way You Prep, Chop and Serve

One good knife changes how you cook.

The Knifz cleaver is ground for balance and control, in high-carbon stainless with full-tang construction running the whole length of the handle. The grip stays put when your hands are wet. The edge holds through a full prep session, not just the first onion.

Built for people who'd rather do it properly.

See the Edge

Precision-Ground, Hand-Honed

Every Knifz cleaver is ground to 15 degrees per side and hand-honed before it leaves the shop. The high-carbon stainless steel takes a sharper edge and holds it longer than the softer steel in most kitchen knives. You feel it the first time you go through a butternut squash.

"I've cooked with my dad's German set for ten years. This cleaver made me realize what sharp actually feels like. Three weeks in, haven't honed it once."
