Chopping knife

The chopping knife is the tool dedicated to cutting bone-in meat, coarse boning and separating portions. Its wide blade and weight allow it to split joints and chop with precision. In our Chopping knife section, you will find models suited to professional kitchens as well as demanding home cooks, complementing the other tools in the Meat knife range.

Choosing your chopping knife

Which blade and weight should you prefer?

An effective cleaver relies on a thick, well-balanced blade. The weight helps it cut through firm flesh and split joints, while a stainless steel blade ensures a lasting edge and easy maintenance. Check the blade height, which should be sufficient to protect your hand during repeated cuts.

What is it used for?

The chopping knife is used to split, coarsely bone and chop meat and poultry. For finer cuts, turn to the Slicing knife or the Butcher knife, which usefully complete the cutting set.
