J. White Butcher Cleaver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL. \u0026amp; I. J. White was one of America's respected cutlery manufacturers, producing fully forged carbon steel blades for professional butchers and serious home cooks throughout the 20th century. This 205mm cleaver carries that heritage - the fully forged carbon steel blade delivers the heft and edge retention needed for heavy chopping work, breaking down large cuts, and portioning with authority. At nearly 2kg, it has the weight to do the work without brute force. Carbon steel sharpens to a finer edge than stainless and develops a natural patina with use. One-of-a-kind and not available anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade if storing long-term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and desirable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55335403323683,"sku":"CK#1234","price":160.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/7DBDC1F9-E5A0-4F7C-BF05-8906BEC9011F.jpg?v=1785209577","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/l-i-j-white-butcher-cleaver-205mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
