Most kitchens don't own a cleaver because most cooks never need one — until they do. A whole chicken to break down. A small pumpkin for soup. A pork shoulder that needs splitting before it goes in the smoker. A bunch of root vegetables that resist a chef knife. That's the cleaver moment, and most home cooks either give up on the work or struggle through it with the wrong tool. This 7-inch chopping cleaver is the right tool. Tall blade, heavy spine for chopping force, sharp 14–16° edge for clean cuts on soft food. Forged from high-carbon German steel, set into a triple-riveted Pakkawood handle with full-tang construction. Splits chicken joints, dices butternut squash, chops through fish heads, and minces herbs without changing tools. Compact 7-inch length means it fits in a normal kitchen drawer instead of needing dedicated wall storage like an old-school butcher cleaver. Lifetime warranty. The knife that fills the gap between a chef knife and a true bone-splitter — and earns its drawer slot the first time you use it.

All Cutluxe knives are forged from high-carbon German steel — rust-resistant, impact-tough, and precision-tapered to a razor-sharp 14–16° edge. Handles are crafted from ergonomic Pakkawood for a secure, comfortable grip in any condition. Every knife features full tang construction for maximum balance and control. To keep your knife performing at its best: Hand-wash only — dishwashers damage the edge and handle over time Dry immediately after washing to prevent moisture build-up Hone regularly with a honing rod to keep the edge aligned between sharpenings Store on a magnetic strip, in a knife roll, or in a block — never loose in a drawer Use a wooden or plastic cutting board; glass and ceramic surfaces dull the blade

We stand behind every blade we make. If the quality isn't what you expected, we'll make it right. Simply reach out to our team at support@cutluxe.com and we'll handle the rest.

6" Thin & Curved Boning Knife

I’ve always liked working with sharp knives and tools, so I carefully searched for the best balance between cost and quality—that’s how I found Cutluxe.
Unfortunately, one of the sharpening stones arrived damaged during shipping, so I contacted their customer service team. Their response was much faster than expected, and they promptly provided a solution.
This clearly shows their professionalism and commitment to customers. I highly recommend buying with confidence. Cutluxe is a serious, reliable brand and definitely worth the investment.

In Dec/25, I ordered the 5" Santoku for myself. I love it SO much, I bought 2 others for gifts. 1) The knife is well weighted, comfortable to hold, easy to use, sharp, sharp, sharp and beautiful to look at. 2) I know the recipients will love their Santoku as much as I love mine. 3) The packaging of the knife is amazing which is important if you are giving it as a gift. Very classy. 4) The customer service at Cutluxe is stellar. I had an issue regarding a return (of my own doing) and their response time immediate, polite and professional. I was very impressed with this aspect of the business. I have told many friends about the quality of the product and the superior after-sales responses. Thank you Cutluxe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a cleaver if I already own a chef knife?

Depends on what you cook. If your prep is mostly already-portioned meat and easy vegetables, the chef knife covers everything. But if you ever buy whole chickens, big squash, pork shoulders, or fish that needs heading, the chef knife is wrong for the job — and most cooks either give up on those cuts or struggle through them. A cleaver makes that work disappear. You don't reach for it every day. You reach for it on the Sunday-prep, the Thanksgiving morning, the day you found a deal on a whole chicken and decided to break it down yourself. Those moments are why this knife sits in a kitchen — and once it's there, you'll find more of them.

Can I chop through bones with this?

Soft bones, yes — chicken joints, fish bones, rabbit, small game, smaller pork bones with cartilage. Hard beef bones, no — those need a true heavy butcher cleaver with a thicker spine designed specifically for bone splitting (think the old-school 4-pound meat cleavers). The 7″ Chopping Cleaver sits between a chef knife and a heavy butcher cleaver: enough weight and edge geometry for the typical home-kitchen bone work, not enough for splitting beef femurs. For 95% of bone work a home cook actually does — splitting chickens at the joint, separating ribs, breaking down a fish head — this is the right size. For the other 5%, you're at a butcher shop anyway.

7″ Chopping Cleaver vs 7″ regular Cleaver vs 8″ Chef-Cleaver Hybrid — which one?

Three blades, three different priorities. The 7″ regular Cleaver is the balanced version — lighter weight, more vegetable-friendly, designed as a daily-driver knife that happens to be cleaver-shaped. The 7″ Chopping Cleaver is the heavier version, weighted for chopping force on bones and dense food. The 8″ Chef-Cleaver Hybrid keeps the chef knife's curved belly and rocking motion, with cleaver-height for clearance — but isn't built for bones. If you cook mostly vegetables: regular cleaver. If you cook whole proteins and dense produce: chopping cleaver. If you want one blade for general kitchen prep with extra reach: chef-cleaver hybrid. The chopping cleaver is the right pick for cooks who do real breakdown work.

How do I take care of it?

Hand-wash, towel-dry, store on a magnetic strip or in a block — never in a drawer banging against other steel. Avoid the dishwasher entirely; the heat and detergent corrode the high-carbon edge. Use wood or high-density plastic cutting boards; glass and granite will chip the edge over time. Hone every two or three uses on a 10″ Sharpening Rod. A full sharpening on a whetstone or rolling sharpener is a once-a-year job at most. The heavier blade is structurally more stable than a chef knife, so the edge holds longer between sharpenings — but the same maintenance routine keeps it cutting like new.

Is this a good gift, and what's the return situation?

Excellent gift for cooks who already own the basics and want a blade with real character. The cleaver shape and weight give it presence most chef-knife gifts don't have, and it fills a real gap in most home kitchens. Pairs naturally with the 6″ Boning Knife or 10″ Sharpening Rod for a more complete present. Lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects for the original owner. 30-day money-back covers everything else. The knife goes back without an argument, no restock fees. Direct-to-consumer pricing means no retail markup, so the $57.99 cleaver delivers material and finish typically priced at $120+ in big-box retail.

GREAT KNIVES !!!! I've been a Chef for over 45 years, and at my home I have an extensive knife selection, Well when these knives arrived I was very Pleasantly surprised. They are the real deal, and Man are they Sharp. I love the Sharpening Steel too, it's a game changer. I've only had them 2 weeks, but I put them right to work and they delivered. So Thank you for a great Product at a very reasonable price. I hope you all do well, you have a great product there. Dave Wilson Round Rock Texas

Beautiful balance and a wonderful blade for chopping and dicing !!

The perfect set....I already own the 12"brisket knife...but I ordered the BBQ set because I needed a new carving set...love it!!

Just like many other Chinese made decent quality knives; the handles are very solid but too heavy. The balance is off, but quality for the money is there.

Nice

Excellent life!

Great,sharp knife. I like it.

My first use was to half chicken breasts for cutlets. The knife cut through each chicken breast like butter. I’m very pleased with the quality and performance of the pair of knives in the set.

Mostly pleased. Priced well. A little bit less stable than. I would like. Using on refrigerator side panel.

Awesome Knife. Razor sharp and well balanced. Well worth the money.

It's the best filled knife I've used so far the handle is firm there's no bend to the blade I was really impressed thank you

A nice addition to my knife set

Excellent knife! It arrived well-packaged, is razor-sharp, and slices through food like butter. Highly recommended!

Great knives I’d recommend it to anyone. I bought my son the barbecue set which included the brisket, knife sharpener, and two other knives which I thought was an excellent value.

Just got the knife
Will try itbsoon

Love it. Cuts great. The pieces are heavy and made well

Best knife I’ve ever had! A well balanced quality knife in my hand. It’s a true utility knife and it cuts a variety of foods with ease. I love it for cutting sourdough bread. I paid under $25 dollars for it. I’m so impressed that I bought 3 more of them as gifts. You won’t regret buying one.

Perfect for my space. Nice looking knife holder.
