Japanese BBQ Knife – Cleaver
The Cleaver — Cutting with Command
This isn’t just a cleaver… it’s a statement.
Where Japanese design embraces purity and precision, and barbecue demands raw power, this cleaver merges both worlds without compromise.
Its wide, well-balanced blade, sharpened with katana-like precision, slices clean, crushes garlic with authority and takes on ambitious cuts without hesitation. But let’s be honest — this isn’t just a tool. It’s the one everyone watches when it hits the board.
Its ebony wood handle, dark and dense, brings a noble contrast to steel — a firm, confident grip, bold without being brutish. Just enough character to remind you that the kitchen, like the grill, is no place for half measures.
Built to chop, split, slice… and impress, this cleaver quickly becomes the favorite of those who cook boldly, cut clean, and treat fire as an art.

Regular sharpening
To maintain precise cutting and optimal performance, frequently use a whetstone or sharpening steel. This simple routine extends the life of your knives while ensuring an incomparable cutting experience.
Hand wash only
To keep your knives in optimal condition, it is recommended to wash them by hand with warm water and mild soap. Not suitable for dishwashers, as this would reduce their lifespan. After washing, dry them immediately and thoroughly to prevent stains from forming.
