A Chinese-style chopping cleaver fitted with a classic boxwood handle.
Unlike heavy butchery cleavers, this knife carries far less weight and is designed as a general-purpose kitchen tool. The broad blade is ideal for slicing boneless meats, chopping, dicing and mincing vegetables, and crushing garlic or ginger.
The tall profile also doubles as a spatula, making it easy to transfer ingredients from board to pan — a defining feature of Chinese-style prep.

Available in carbon steel (where specified), offering strong sharpness potential and excellent cutting feel.
Carbon steel takes a particularly keen edge and sharpens beautifully on stones, but it does require attentive care.

Fitted with a traditional boxwood handle — simple, comfortable and in keeping with the knife’s honest, work-focused design.

Hailing from Solsona in Northern Spain, the Pallarès family have been producing knives for over a century. Now led by the third generation, they continue to craft classic tools defined by function, simplicity and enduring design.

Carbon steel rewards care with exceptional sharpness.
Wash and dry thoroughly after use. If light surface rust appears, a gentle rub with a dry scourer will usually remove it. Over time, a patina will develop — natural, protective and entirely part of the knife’s character.
And for many reasons — never put your knives in the dishwasher.

Age Restriction
Knives are only available to persons over 18 years of age. Due to the nature of our business, all customers will be required to verify their age at checkout.
We ship Tuesday to Saturday using Royal Mail Tracked 24.
All knives ship via an age verified service in accordance with The Offensive Weapons Act 2019, which will mean the postie will need you to be in to receive the delivery & to check your ID if you look under 25.
The law also requires us to carry out a soft age check of the purchaser after checkout, this is done by an automated system that usually doesn't require your input, although we will need to contact you for proof of age if you fail, which can sometimes happen if you use a work address.
