      FAQs

      What tasks is the Chicken Chaser MK2 best suited for?

      The MK2 cleaver is ideal for heavy-duty butchery tasks such as breaking down whole chickens, separating joints, cutting through small bones, chopping dense vegetables, and portioning large cuts of meat. Its weight and thick spine allow it to deliver powerful, controlled chopping that lighter knives can’t achieve.

      Can this cleaver cut through bone safely?

      Yes, for small to medium bones. The 3.5 mm thick 5CR15MOV blade is built for impact and can handle poultry bones, ribs, and cartilage with ease. However, for extremely dense bones like beef femur or large marrow bones, a dedicated butcher’s cleaver or bone saw is recommended to protect the blade.

      How does 5CR15MOV steel perform in a heavy-duty cleaver?

      5CR15MOV is a tough, resilient steel known for its ability to withstand impact without chipping—perfect for a chopping cleaver. It sharpens easily and maintains a reliable cutting edge, making it practical for frequent use in both home and professional kitchens.

      Is the rosewood handle comfortable and secure during intense chopping?

      Absolutely. The handmade rosewood handle is shaped to naturally fit the hand, providing a secure and stable grip even during forceful cuts. Its full-tang construction ensures balance and control, reducing wrist fatigue when working through tougher ingredients.

      What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?

      Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.

      We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.

      Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?

      We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.

      Is this knife dishwasher-safe?

      We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

      How should I sharpen this knife?

      You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.

      What’s the best way to store this knife?

      Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
