Dexter Russell 8″ Chinese cleaver. Stainless steel blade with turned wood handle. Made in USA.
Although this blade is stainless, do not even think about putting it in the dishwasher.
Founded in 1818, as the Harrington Cutlery Company, and merging with the John Russell Cutlery Company in 1834, Dexter-Russell is the largest and oldest U.S. knife maker still doing business today. They continue to make a large selection of old-school carbon steel butcher knives and tools, as well as the ubiquitous white handled kitchen standbys. They are located in Southbridge, Massachusetts.
