About the Shape - The cleaver, the iconic tool of a butcher. Unlike the thin, sexy Nakiri of Japan, the cleaver is a beefy blade designed for smashing through hard items, and boy does it work. Unlike the cleaver of olde, Arcos blades take and hold a razor edge incredibly well, and stand up to loads of butchery. 160mm is a good starter size, suitable for butchering fish, fowl, and rabbits.

About Arcos Hermanos S.A. - The brand officially began in 1745 with Juan Arcos, who forged blades now found in the National Archeological Museum in Madrid. The craft continued through the family line until Gregoria Arcos Aroco who turned the small hand-forging shop into a fully mechanized production shop for high-quality Spanish blades in 1875. One hundred years down the road, his descendant Gregorio Arcos Villanueva desired more and began the expansion of Arcos into the International brand that it is today. Through nearly 300 years of manufacturing, the family has never ceased their innovation.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Workhorse of a cleaver

"Bought to cut through bones and frozen meat for the dog."

— Marko M. (5/5)

Best gift!

"Brother asked for a cleaver for Christmas, so I delivered 2 of them! This thing is built so terrifyingly well, that I ended up gifting it to him a month before Christmas, so I wouldn't have to worry about somehow hurting myself with it.. Also strategized a safe place for storage. This is his new favourite thing. Thanks Nathan, for your help!"

— Jennifer O. (5/5)

Arcos black handle cleaver

"This is my third knife from knifewear and the least expensive. I love all three. The cleaver is great for cutting through large veggies like spaghetti squash and other gourds. I would definitely recommend AND your sales staff are awesome at explaining the differences between all the different knives. There is nothing better than a good knife!!!! And Knifewear will sharpen your knives for you!!!"
