This Vintage Heavy Duty Butchers Cleaver 200mm is the kind of tool that spent decades doing real work in commercial kitchens and butcher shops: splitting bones, chopping through joints, and handling the toughest prep tasks without complaint. A full-tang, single-piece construction with a solid timber handle built for control under heavy impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butcher's cleaver (double bevel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full tang, timber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unbranded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unknown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-owned, vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2266\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the world's finest working cleavers were produced without a maker's mark - tools built for the trade, not the collector. This 200mm cleaver fits squarely in that tradition: a thick spine for impact absorption, a broad carbon steel blade that can be resharpened to a working edge on a coarse stone, and a full-tang handle construction that keeps the knife stable under the repeated downward force of bone work. Carbon steel cleavers like this develop a natural patina with use, which actually helps protect the blade from moisture - a sign of a well-used, well-cared-for tool. At 200mm, it sits in the professional mid-range: heavy enough for whole chickens and pork ribs, manageable enough for skilled vegetable breaking.\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 use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a flat whetstone to maintain the working edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on coarse to medium water stones (400\/1000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil to the blade if storing for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55573598667043,"sku":"2266","price":180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/47F10A47-E61F-4CB0-9352-57BBCF0F2E63.jpg?v=1789357228","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-heavy-duty-butchers-cleaver-knife-200mm-carbon-steel-timber-handle-2266","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
