The Dick Cutlet Cleaver is a compact, purpose-built blade designed for portioning and trimming tasks in professional kitchen and butchery environments. At 15.2cm, it sits on the smaller end of the cleaver range, making it well suited to controlled, precise work — cutlet preparation, breaking down smaller cuts, and detail butchery — rather than heavy bone-splitting duties.In a busy prep kitchen, this cleaver performs reliably across sustained use. The stainless steel blade holds a good working edge and is straightforward to re-sharpen, which matters when prep volumes are high and turnaround time between services is short. At 500g, the weight is manageable for extended prep sessions without causing fatigue, while still carrying enough mass to work efficiently through meat and cartilage.From a practical standpoint, the stainless steel construction makes cleaning straightforward and supports compliance with commercial hygiene standards. The hanging hole at the blade spine allows the knife to be stored on a rack or hook when not in use — a sensible feature in kitchens where bench space is limited and knife organisation matters. Compact size suits cutlet prep, portioning, and detail butchery work Stainless steel blade is easy to maintain and clean to commercial hygiene standards Balanced 500g weight reduces fatigue during extended prep sessions Hanging hole supports hygienic, organised knife storage Suitable for use in professional kitchen and butchery environments This cleaver is best suited to chefs and butchers who need a lighter, more precise cleaver for cutlet and trim work. Those handling heavier jointing or bone work regularly may find a larger, heavier model more appropriate for that purpose.If you're building out a knife set and want guidance on matching blades to your prep workflow, we're happy to help — feel free to get in touch with the team.
