    WHAT ARE MEAT CLEAVERS USED FOR?

    Cleavers, also known as butcher knives, have a large, flat metal blade and a small handle that is usually made of wood. They have a thick or broadside that allows you to prep ingredients like crushed garlic. Most people use cleaver knives to break down big roasts and sides of beef and to cut through thick bones.

    WHY DO MEAT CLEAVERS HAVE A HOLE IN THEIR BLADE?

    Regardless of whether you choose indoor or camping knives, some butcher knives will have a hole in the blade near the handle. This adds more stability to the cleaver knife. If the blade becomes stuck, slip one or two fingers into the hole to get a better grip and pull out the blade.

    CARING FOR YOUR CLEAVER KNIFE

    Check out the tips we found to care for your meat cleaver and get years of use out of it.

    SHARPENING

    Using caution when sharpening your meat cleaver ensures you don't chip the edge. Soak the whetstone in water first to prevent knicks in the blade. Then, hold the blade of the knife at a 30-degree angle. Slowly use a back-and-forth motion to slide the blade against the stone. You'll need to turn it over and use the same motion to sharpen the other side.

    CLEANING AND HOW TO STORE

    The best way to store a cleaver knife like those from our Caveman Series is in a knife block. Storing one in a crowded drawer increases the risk of damaging the blade. You can also use a magnetic storage strip, which is helpful if you use the knife often. To clean a cleaver, use ordinary dish soap and warm water. Dry it with a cloth before you put it away. Never use a dishwasher, as it can significantly damage the blade.
