FOR THE PITMASTER TRIMMING A WHOLE BRISKET, OR THE HOME BUTCHER BREAKING DOWN A QUARTER OF BEEF: 14 inches of high-carbon 7Cr17MoV steel at 60 HRC — full-tang, 6mm thick, 2.9 lbs. The scale lets you split joints, quarter chickens, section a pork shoulder, or crack a pumpkin in one stroke. This is the cleaver the pros reach for.
FOR BONE-IN WORK, HARD PRODUCE, AND THE SERIOUS WEEKEND PROJECTS: The controlled weight does the cutting — you guide the blade, the mass does the force. Razor-sharp out of the box, hand-polished satin finish. NSF certified for professional kitchen use.
FOR PINCH-GRIP CONTROL THROUGH A FULL PREP SESSION: Ultra-premium military-grade G-10 handle, hand-polished for superior grip, balance, and long-session comfort. Full-tang construction transfers every ounce of force from handle to edge. No slip, no fatigue — even through back-to-back breakdowns.
FOR THE COUNTER DISPLAY OR THE BUTCHER-BLOCK WALL: Ships with a handcrafted acacia wood display stand and a PerfectFit saya sheath with pin and string. The Annihilator looks like a statement piece when it's resting — and works like a butcher-shop fixture when it's in hand.
GIFT-READY PACKAGING, DEDICATED SUPPORT: Every Dalstrong knife is backed by a dedicated US-based customer support and handcrafted packaging. Questions about knife care, sharpening, or technique? Our team answers real people, not bots. 3,200+ verified reviews say it all.
