HexClad cutlery carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects. It does not cover damage from improper use or storage, accident, loss, or theft. Cutting on hard surfaces, dishwasher use, dulled blades, rust, discoloration, and bent/broken blades, and foodservice use will also void this warranty.

Whether it’s chopping, pounding, mincing, slicing, or dicing, our 7.5" cleaver is a force to be reckoned with. With just the right heft and a razor-sharp double-beveled blade, you get perfectly honed power with every move. From prepping harder vegetables, like butternut squash and turnips, to breaking down proteins, tendons, and bones, it makes quick work of tasks that can be too much for a chef’s or santoku knife. Its full-tang construction and contoured Pakkawood handle put stability and control in the palm of your hand.
