If you’re a seasoned butcher, you’ll be well aware that the meat cleaver is a vital tool in any butcher’s repertoire. You know the drill, meat cleavers and choppers are there to complete the bigger jobs that normal butchers knives can’t manage, and they’re absolutely perfect for cutting up large joints of meat. Here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse, we stock a range of the very best chopping knives and cleavers, designed by trusted manufacturers from across the globe. So, here are a few recommendations which you can find right here on our site.

Icel 7’’ cleaver

Icel has long been praised for its commitment to providing a quality range of professional butchers knives. The knives themselves are manufactured in mainland Europe using the highest quality stainless steel, and are crafted with an exceptional polypropylene handle. The materials used to create the handles are certified according to the Food Processing Safety regulations, and provide the user with a firm grip. The steel blade of the cleaver ensures that the Icel 7’’ cleaver makes short work of the toughest meat chopping jobs, so you won’t be disappointed.

Victorinox 7’’ cleaver

Quite simply, Victorinox Fibrox handled knives are our best selling knives. They are used by the majority of Britain's butchers, and it’s easy to see why. Victorinox knives feature non slip, comfortable "Fibrox" handles, making them the ideal choice for any professional environment. It’s difficult not to appreciate the razor sharp Swiss steel of the Victorinox 7’’ cleaver, and the sheer functionality that it offers. As an added bonus, all of our Victorinox Fibrox knives can be easily sterilised, and are completely dishwasher safe.
