What’s a Korean Chicken Chopper?

Breaking down a chicken, splitting the joints and even dicing garlic with the sharp smooth curve of the blade is a breeze.

The rugged blade married elegantly with the solid brass bolster and African Blackwood handle offer an unexpected level of refinement on a working cleaver.

The Custom Korean Cleaver by Mastro Company is a heavy yet nimble kitchen cleaver that offers the heft of a cleaver and the utility of a large chef knife.

Designed specifically for the collector that appreciates their knife for its intended purpose.
