Hand-Forged Japanese Meat Cleaver Knife with Oak Handle & Sheath

Inspired by ancient Japanese craftsmanship and hammered into contemporary use, this hand-forged Japanese meat cleaver knife brings strength, accuracy, and tradition in one durable knife. Chopping through meat, crushing through bone, or meal prepping at the campsite, this full-tang cleaver is the butcher's best ally and essential for every serious chef or outdoor cook.

Damascus Steel Blade with Abstract Cloud Etching

The 7.1-inch-wide blade is made with Damascus steel, giving a stylized cloud pattern. It offers 55–60 HRC hardness for maximum edge life and bone-splitting force. There is a wide and slightly curved cleaver-form blade that makes it perfect for chopping meat, precision cutting, and even vegetable preparation when necessary. You can use it for the kitchen, BBQ, and grilling needs. 

Ergonomic Oak Wood Handle

Made from durable oak wood, the 4.7-inch handle is contoured for an anti-slip, comfortable grip that resists hand fatigue even for heavy-duty butchering. Rustic beauty is delivered by the natural grain of wood from the oak, giving an ideal balance and slicing capacity. Its full tang construction makes it a reliable cleaver knife for chefs, butchers, and outdoor cooks.

Multi-Carry Leather Sheath for On-the-Go Use

This cleaver features a handcrafted genuine leather sheath that facilitates both vertical and horizontal carry. Whether you are out in the field, sitting around the fire pit, or preparing game on a hunt, the sheath holds your knife safe and at the ready. Its functionality and traditional style are in perfect harmony.

Engraving & Customization Options

Make it your own. Include an engraved name or special message on the handle or sheath for that classic touch, ideal for presenting to grill enthusiasts, professional chefs, or adventurers.
