The Lamson Heavy Duty Meat Cleaver is a 7.25-inch heavy-duty meat cleaver with riveted walnut handle handcrafted in the brand’s Westfield, Massachusetts shop. High-carbon stainless steel and walnut or Ultra Durable composite handles deliver weight, balance, and grip that hold up to commercial-kitchen use — and the lifetime construction means this is a tool you pass down, not replace.
Use it for butchering, breaking down poultry, smashing garlic, and heavy chopping. The full-tang construction and riveted handle eliminate the loose-handle failure point common to imported kitchen tools, and the American-forged stainless steel resists corrosion, holds an edge, and cleans up to look new for decades of daily kitchen service.
Lamson Products has been handcrafting cutlery and kitchen tools in Westfield, Massachusetts since 1837 — the oldest cutlery company in America. Every Lamson kitchen tool is made in the USA from American steel and built to outlast the kitchen it serves.
