Wolfgang Starke™ by THE CUSTOM CHEF™ brings German precision and blade-smith perfection to Cuisine::pro®. The choice of the great European Master Chef's can be yours at home too. Celebrated for perfection in manufacturing and cutting performance, the Wolfgang Starke™ range is constructed from high-quality German stainless steel, and produced with a controlled tempered process to ensure the best possible hardness, toughness and flexibility. The Cuisine::pro® Wolfgang Starke™ Cleaver (17.5cm/6.5") has been engineered and weighted to make heavy chopping easier. A cleaver can take on heavier root vegetables with more force than a chef's knife or santoku knife. Aside from breaking down tendons and bones, cleavers can also be used for pounding, mincing, dicing, and slicing a variety of other foods.
