Global G-12 Cleaver 16 cm

Description

Beyond its intimidating looks, the Global G-12 cleaver represents Asian versatility condensed into 440 g of controlled power. Its 16 cm rectangular blade handles everything from forceful cuts through bone to the ultra-fine mincing of ginger, proving that a Japanese cleaver goes far beyond brute force. Meanwhile, chefs who specialise in Asian cuisine consider it indispensable for traditional techniques impossible with conventional knives.
Made from Global’s exclusive Cromova 18 stainless steel, the G-12 also reaches a hardness of 56-58 HRC with a robust geometry that withstands intense impacts without losing its edge. As for its exceptional weight, the 440 g provide the inertia needed to cut through bone structures with minimal effort, while a made-to-measure white cutting board supports heavy-duty work without being damaged (choose thicknesses over 3 cm).

Why choose the Global G-12 cleaver?

The 440 g weight of the G-12 is calculated specifically for techniques that require controlled force, therefore allowing powerful cuts without excessive user fatigue. Likewise, its compact 16 cm blade offers maximum control and precision even in physically demanding jobs.
The robust geometry of the Global cleaver enables specialised techniques such as separating joints and cutting through medium-sized bones, making it an indispensable tool for butcher shops and kitchens that process whole pieces. In addition, the one-piece construction withstands repeated impacts while keeping perfect structural integrity. To preserve its cutting ability, we nonetheless recommend the Global sharpening stones that maintain its characteristic robust edge.
