If your dad’s the kind of guy who feels more at home behind a fire pit than behind a desk, we’ve got the perfect Father’s Day gift: a cleaver built for serious outdoor cooking. Not the kind you hang on the wall, but the kind you take to the forest, the grill, or the backyard on a Sunday afternoon.
Here are our top cleaver picks for every kind of fire-cooking father—from the low-and-slow meat guy to the one who’s always experimenting with something new.
