Our meat cleaver is one of the most impressive knives made! Hand crafted from German steel, it was designed to expertly balance and provide a highly maneuverable and accurate cutting experience. This is a full tang knife with the top edge being almost 1/3” thick solid stainless steel. The blade has been hammered so that it is slightly thinner at the front (vs the rear of the blade) making heavy tasks easier by increasing leverage.
The handle has been hand-shaped from natural American Walnut wood. Each knife is unique as no two pieces of Walnut wood are the same. The shape of the wood handle is multi-dimensional so there is a natural grip between the first and second fingers making it easier to control and fit in your hand.
Stainless-steel handle caps add stability, strength and act as a counter weight giving even weight distribution from tip to end.
To maintain the natural wood grain, rub occasionally with a mix of 50% olive oil and 50% white vinegar.
