This knife is a real heavyweight. Originally designed for Asian cuisine, the Chinese cleaver has long since gained popularity in European kitchens. And no wonder: the rather exotic-looking model is both highly versatile and very practical. In appearance, the Chinese cleaver is very similar to an axe – especially due to its extremely wide blade, which is almost twice as long as it is wide and thus ideal for cutting or chopping through sinew and bones. What’s more, the front edge of the blade is extremely sharp and popular amongst professional and amateur chefs for chopping fish and meat. This is a powerful addition to any knife set and opens up a whole new range of preparation styles.\n\nExtremely sharp blades, handles that fit like a glove and an unbeatable range of knives: the Spitzenklasse Plus collection is a classic amongst WMF knives. The refreshing new design features rounded edges on the handles for an even better grip. The seamless transition between blade and handle, a forged bolster to create the right balance and a Performance Cut blade guarantee clean, safe and reliable cutting. The range of knives in this collection is extremely diverse, catering to all cooks and ingredients: from classics such as chef’s knives, all-purpose knives and vegetable knives with various blade lengths, to various types of Chinese chef’s knives and cleavers, to Santoku and steak knives.
