Crestware KN162 7 in Serrated Cleaver Black Handle

Crestware KN162 Serrated Cleaver

The Crestware KN162 is a 7-inch serrated cleaver built with a high-carbon steel blade and a black Santoprene handle. It is designed for kitchen tasks that require a sawing action through tougher textures. The NSF certification confirms it meets commercial food-safety standards. Professional cooks and home users needing a durable, certified cleaver will find it suitable.

Capacity and headroom

The 7-inch blade length provides enough edge for portioning large vegetables, poultry and bone-in cuts in a single stroke. High-carbon steel holds a keen serrated edge longer than softer alloys, so the sawing performance stays consistent through heavy prep sessions. The blade will run out of reach on very large primal cuts or oversized melons where a longer knife is needed. Santoprene handles resist slipping when wet but offer no guard for heavy cleaving force.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a manual tool the cleaver generates no heat, noise or electrical draw during use. High-carbon steel can develop surface rust if left wet, so prompt drying protects the blade. The Santoprene handle stays comfortable through extended cutting without transmitting vibration. NSF certification means the construction tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles without handle degradation. No external power or cooling is required.
