The Victorinox Fibrox Kitchen Cleaver 18cm is a sturdy, professional kitchen cleaver built for chopping tasks that need more blade weight than a standard chef's knife. With its 18cm straight-edge blade, balanced construction and secure Fibrox handle, it is designed for controlled chopping, food preparation and heavier kitchen work.
This is a practical working cleaver for commercial kitchens, butchers, BBQ preparation and serious home cooks who need a reliable tool for larger ingredients. The blade carries useful weight into each chop, while the Fibrox handle — secure, comfortable and easy to maintain in professional food preparation environments — helps maintain grip and control during repeated prep work.

Care Advice
Although Victorinox Fibrox knives are generally suitable for dishwasher cleaning, hand washing and drying is the better option if you want to preserve the edge, handle condition and long-term performance. Avoid leaving the knife wet in a sink or storing it loose in a drawer where the cutting edge can be damaged.
Use this cleaver on suitable chopping boards only. Avoid hard surfaces such as glass, stone or stainless steel benches, as these can damage the edge. Maintain the blade regularly with a quality honing steel or sharpening tool and sharpen properly when the edge begins to lose bite.
