Hakai Cleaver Knives with a Twist

A cleaver knife generally has a massive hacking blade made for cutting through some of the hardest, toughest and strongest of foodstuffs. This knife in particular is a cleaver with a twist. It's not just a cleaver knife. It's a cleaver knife with a finger hole in the blade.


The finger hole helps you hold onto the knife easier and have greater control over your hacking and chopping. If you want smoother slicing, the finger hole helps you achieve smoother and more precise slicing than other cleaver knives. Another Seido knife, the Kyodai, also features this finger hole for overall better control.

What to Look for in the Best Cleaver Knives

You want your cleaver knives to be razor sharp, considering you would use them for butchering and for quartering poultry. They should be light enough to hold without causing fatigue to your hands, fingers and wrists. The handles should be non-slip materials and have an easy ergonomic fit.


The tang should be forged of high-quality steel that will not rust or corrode and is easy to care for and clean. Sharpening cleaver knives is difficult, so you want blades that rarely dull. Finally, the best cleaver knives can be used for more than carving through bone and sinew. They should also chop, dice, and smash garlic cloves with ease.
