Why You'll Love This Cleaver
- Hand-Forged Precision: Air-hammer forging compresses and refines the steel's grain structure, resulting in a blade with exceptional hardness (56±2 HRC) and long-lasting sharpness.
- Antique Black Finish: The blackening oxidation process creates a protective oxide film on the blade surface, naturally isolating the metal from air to help prevent rust and corrosion.
- Razor-Sharp Edge: Blade angle exceeding 60° delivers a wear-resistant, ultra-sharp cutting edge that glides through meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, and fruit with ease.
- Ergonomic Walnut Handle: The full, comfortable walnut wood handle is shaped for a secure, balanced grip during extended kitchen sessions — reducing hand fatigue and improving control.
- Thickened 2.5mm Blade: The robust blade thickness provides the weight and rigidity needed for confident, clean cuts through a wide variety of ingredients.
- Multifunctional Use: Perfect for slicing steak, cleaving through roasts, breaking down whole fish, and chopping vegetables — a true all-rounder for any kitchen.
- CE / EU Certified & Eco-Friendly: Meets CE/EU certification standards and contains no high-concern chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of steel is the blade made from, and how hard is it?
A: The blade is crafted from 4Cr13MoV high-grade stainless steel, heat-treated to a hardness of 56±2 HRC. This makes the cleaver highly durable, wear-resistant, and capable of maintaining a sharp edge through regular kitchen use.
Q: Is this meat cleaver suitable for cutting vegetables and fish as well as meat?
A: Absolutely! This handmade forged cleaver is a multifunctional kitchen knife. Its sharp, wide blade handles meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, and more — making it a versatile everyday tool for all your prep work.
Q: How do I care for the walnut handle and black blade finish?
A: Hand-wash the cleaver with warm soapy water and dry it immediately after use. Avoid prolonged soaking or dishwasher use. Occasionally treat the walnut handle with a food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood conditioned. The antique black oxidized finish offers natural rust resistance, but prompt drying after washing will help preserve it.
Q: What is the blade angle and why does it matter?
A: The blade is sharpened to an angle greater than 60°, which provides a strong, durable cutting edge ideal for the heavy-duty work a meat cleaver handles. This geometry balances sharpness with edge strength for confident, clean cuts every time.
