Hand-forged Damascus cleaver

This 9.5 inch butcher cleaver features a hand-forged rain-drop Damascus blade made from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel. The 5.5 inch cutting edge is heat-treated to a hardness of 56 to 58 HRC. A two-tone brown wood handle is secured with five silver pins and includes a lanyard hole for extra strength.

Suited for heavy chopping tasks

The robust blade geometry and high carbon construction make it suitable for butchery and heavy kitchen prep where a cleaver is required. Buyers who want a stainless blade that resists rust without maintenance should look elsewhere, as this high carbon steel will corrode if not dried and oiled after every use. A sheath is not included, so separate storage must be arranged.

Simple to start using

The knife arrives sharp and ready to work with no assembly required. High carbon Damascus steel demands immediate cleaning, thorough drying, and a coat of cooking oil before storage to prevent rust. Never store the blade in a leather sheath for long periods, as absorbed moisture will cause corrosion. If rust appears, the supplier suggests using WD40 to remove it.

Questions about this item

What cutting surface should I pair with the 5.5 inch edge to protect the Damascus blade?

Use a wooden or plastic board; glass, stone or ceramic will dull the 56 to 58 HRC edge quickly.

Can I keep using my leather sheath with this 9.5 inch cleaver?

The supplier advises against leather storage because it traps moisture and causes rust on the 1095 and 15N20 steel.

How do I confirm the rain drop pattern blade is properly hardened after first use?

The edge should hold a clean slice through meat without rolling; a simple paper test will show the 56 to 58 HRC hardness.
