Anyone who spends a considerable time whipping up meals in the kitchen must need quality knives to cook efficiently. The ever-versatile chef's knife is already a given, and so is a paring knife for processing smaller ingredients, a bread knife for slicing through crusty loaves, and a carving knife for your Thanksgiving roasts.

But there's another blade that home cooks tend to overlook, and that is the cleaver knife. Admittedly, it may seem intimidating since it's often associated with butchers. Still, a cleaver knife is as versatile as a chef's knife in that it can carry out a bevy of culinary tasks, including fileting and boning, crushing up garlic, cracking open lobsters, and of course, butchering meats. So a cleaver knife certainly has a place in your kitchen, and you can pick up this Seido Hakai Cleaver Knife, on sale for over $100 off, thanks to this Memorial Day sale.

Similar to a santoku knife, this Hakai cleaver blade is made to be durable and ergonomic, with an impressive sharpness that can cut through tough bones and cartilage. It features a 4mm carbon steel blade with a 60-inch blade tip and curved edge that can help carry out virtually any cutting job with ease and precision. It features a full-tang, textured Rosewood handle for grip, giving you better control. It even lets you dice just as easily as you can debone.

While you can store this cleaver along with your collection of blades, you can also display it on your countertop with its aesthetically pleasing leather sheath. Of course, that means you can also bring it with you to your culinary adventures.

Whether you're an experienced home cook or a rookie in the kitchen, this all-purpose cleaver knife can help you tackle whatever culinary challenge comes your way.

Formerly retailing for $179, you can score it on sale for only $59.97 until May 31, 11:59 p.m. PT.
