Description

The Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe butcher cleaver is the choice of American meatpacking plants and butcher shops — a heavy 20cm high-carbon steel blade delivers devastating chopping power for splitting ribs, portioning primal cuts, and breaking down whole carcasses.
The white polypropylene Sani-Safe handle is textured for grip, stain-resistant, and meets USDA and NSF standards for commercial food processing environments.
A best heavy-duty butcher cleaver for professionals who need an American-made workhorse that performs through thousands of cuts without complaint.

**The Butcher’s Trusted Companion**
Swing the cleaver through a rack of ribs and feel the blade find the joint with practiced intuition — the weight of the steel does the heavy lifting while your arm simply delivers the arc.
At the end of a twelve-hour shift, the Sani-Safe handle still grips clean and secure, its polypropylene surface impervious to the blood, fat, and moisture that define a butcher’s working environment.
**Made in Southbridge Since 1818**
Dexter-Russell has been manufacturing cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts for over two centuries, making it the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States.
Every Sani-Safe cleaver is ground and heat-treated in their New England facility, where generations of craftsmen have perfected the art of producing blades that commercial butchers trust with their livelihood.

Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
