Classic Chinese Cleaver

The Classic Cleaver features a classic Full Tang of a Chinese cleaver with the steel of the knife hammered directly into the handle itself. We've certainly never seen any issue like this in our years of work on this classic knife and any chance of this is protected by our Warranty which covers proper use of the knife and any manufacturing defects.

It depends what kinda head is in need of chopping, but for chicken heads, duck heads, and other medium to small poultry is easy work for this cleaver. Fish heads as well can be removed and split with ease too.

This cleaver is a great option as both a chopper for vegetables to larger projects.
It can absolutely make quick work of a chicken and cutting up large pieces of meat is totally in its wheelhouse too.
You will still need to use care if cutting through large bones, raw or cooked since it really comes down to the size of the bone and the condition. Out of an abundance of caution we don't recommend cutting large bones with it.

These blades are taken to an approximate 21 degree angle, this does vary some due to the hand sharpening, and our cleaver we lean to a wider angle, closer to a 23 degree given its focused uses.

You should absolutely be able to cut through Ox Tail, especially when following the joints.
Some bones will be difficult but Ox Tail should be certainly doable with this cleaver.
