The Dexter 49542 Basics 6" Stainless Steel Cleaver is a high quality tool for a great price. Cleavers are a necessary tool for butchering, as they are designed to be swung like a hammer giving you the necessary momentum to cut through thick meat, cartilage, and bone. The broad side of the blade is perfect for crushing foods like garlic and ginger.

The Dexter Basics line combines performance and value. The blades are made of stain-free, high carbon steel and have superior edge retention. The 49542 cleaver features an elegant polished rosewood handle.

Note: Cutlery should be hand washed in mild to medium strength detergent and towel-dried. Knives should not be placed in automatic dishwashers. The blade edges will be dulled from rubbing against each other, and caustic detergents will cause staining and pitting of the blade.

For wood-handled products, heat and detergents cause the natural oils and pigments to be drawn out of the wood, resulting in the handle fading and splitting.

Cutlery should never be soaked for long periods or submerged for cleaning. If a user insists on soaking cutlery in soap, bleach, or chlorine, soaking should be kept to a minimum, the products rinsed thoroughly and dried immediately.

Knives of carbon steel should be washed and dried immediately after use to prevent rusting. Chlorine and bleach products discolor and pit stain-free and high-carbon steel. If chlorine or bleach products come in contact with the blade, they must be thoroughly rinsed off immediately.

Only frequent and prompt cleaning of cutlery after each use with non-caustic solutions and prompt towel drying will ensure the performance and beauty of Dexter’s superior products.
