Selecting Your High Carbon Steel Cleaver

With so many different design options featured within this collection, discovering the one you'll make part of your kitchen collection requires considering the key details of each option, such as:

• Design Style: As you begin your search, check out the overall design style of each knife. This can be especially important if you plan to display your new knife on a magnetic strip in your kitchen.
• Handle: How the cleaver feel in your hand is important. Pay close attention to the design of the handle, the contours of the handle and how the handle is attached to the blade. 
• Blade: Consider how you plan to use the cleaver, paying special attention to the blade design. Curved blades can be easier to rock back and forth while straight blades can provide an even chop. 
• Material: All of the knives in this collection boast high carbon steel that's naturally stain and corrosion resistant. Some of these cleavers, however, introduce a second material for the handle. Taking a close look at these materials may help you narrow down your search for the ideal cleaver.
• Special Features: When you're having trouble making your final selections, stop to take a closer look at the special features of the knives you're considering. 
• Coordinating Knives: The cleavers you'll find in this collection are just one of the may knives you'll want to have in your collection. Once you choose a cleaver you love, shop within the same collection for other types of knives that will help to round-out your collection. 

The high carbon steel cleaver you select is crafted for ultimate durability, making it an investment in years of cooking. Once you've selected your cleaver, you'll make Williams Sonoma your source for all your kitchen essentials, including cutting boards, knife sharpeners, knife blocks, kitchen shears and so much more.
