The Dalstrong Gladiator Series 4.5” Mini Cleaver might look compact, but it's built to conquer. Forged from a single piece of high-carbon German stainless steel, this mini cleaver brings full-sized muscle in a scaled-down frame. Its razor-sharp edge and tall blade profile deliver superb control—ideal for everything from slicing beef and cured meats to mincing garlic and prepping vegetables with confidence.
Designed for chefs who need agility and strength in tight spaces, this cleaver is more than just a knife—it’s a powerhouse. The G10 Garolite handle imported from Spain is laminated for exceptional durability, water resistance, and hygiene, while offering a balanced, ergonomic grip for long prep sessions. Whether you’re tackling a charcuterie board or butchering small poultry, this blade gets the job done with Gladiator-level performance.

What makes this cleaver different from a standard chef’s knife?
The tall blade height and short length give you better leverage and control, especially for chopping through dense foods or delicate tasks in tight spaces.
Is this knife suitable for cutting through bone?
While it’s durable and sharp, this cleaver is better suited for soft and medium-density foods. For bones, opt for a larger heavy-duty cleaver.
Is the G10 handle slip-resistant?
Yes, the G10 Garolite handle provides excellent grip, even when wet, and is highly resistant to water, heat, and chemicals.
Can I use this cleaver for everyday kitchen prep?
Absolutely. It's incredibly versatile and excels at slicing, mincing, and chopping for daily cooking tasks.
Does it come with a protective sheath?
Yes, the Gladiator Series Mini Cleaver includes a custom-fit Dalstrong sheath for safe storage.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
