Traditional Japanese Butchery & Vegetable Cleaver

Bold, versatile, and purpose-built, the Japanese Cleaver — known as the Chukabocho — is a trusted tool for both professional chefs and serious home cooks. These vintage Japanese cleavers were hand-forged using traditional blacksmithing methods, resulting in a blade with exceptional weight, stability, and cutting power.

Crafted from high-carbon steel, the cleaver takes on an incredibly sharp edge and maintains its bite even through demanding prep tasks. Whether chopping vegetables, portioning meat, or performing fine slicing with the razor-sharp front edge, this cleaver offers unmatched control and consistency.

Restored with care and polished to highlight its natural patina, this vintage cleaver is not only a powerful kitchen tool — it’s a statement of craftsmanship and history.
