Dick is one of Germany's most storied cutlery houses, but this 1998 cleaver was produced in the USA - a rare piece from a period when the brand maintained American manufacturing. Fully forged carbon steel delivers the edge retention and sharpening response that professional butchers have relied on for generations. At 180mm, this cleaver sits in the versatile mid-range - heavy enough for serious chopping work, nimble enough for portioning and trimming. 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\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\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":54840838291747,"sku":"CK#097313","price":284.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/822AC349-B0BA-4887-9ACE-2D418CC8B91C.jpg?v=1781995033","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-f-dick-cleaver-knife-180mm-carbon-steel-made-in-usa-1998","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
