WÜSTHOF Classic 6" Black Cleaver

Built for the Hardest Kitchen Tasks

When your prep demands real power, the WÜSTHOF Classic 6-Inch Cleaver delivers. Forged from X50CrMoV15 high-carbon stainless steel, this blade brings together vanadium for wear resistance and molybdenum for hardness and corrosion resistance — a combination that holds up through the most demanding cuts. Sharpened using WÜSTHOF's proprietary Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), the edge arrives razor-sharp out of the box and stays that way, backed by a 58 Rockwell hardness rating for outstanding edge retention.

Versatility That Goes Beyond Chopping

Chop through bones for a rich stock, cube meat for slow-cooked stews, or use the flat of the blade to smash garlic cloves in seconds. The spine works as a meat tenderizer, while the wide blade doubles as a bench scraper — effortlessly transferring prepped ingredients straight from the cutting board to your pot or pan. Full tang construction runs the length of the triple-riveted synthetic handle, providing exceptional balance and strength with every stroke. The handle is engineered to resist fading and discoloration over years of heavy use. Made in Germany to exacting standards, this cleaver is a long-term investment in your kitchen confidence. Hand wash and dry immediately after use to maintain peak performance.
