Description
A traditional and rustic hand forged broad cleaver, made from Swedish Saw Steel( 80CrV2) for the working man or lady.
Our cleaver is lightweight and fits comfortably in the hand making it an excellent kitchen utensil for the preparation of culinary dishes and butchering.
It is manufactured with the intention of representing the no nonsense South African character and grit.
We would be happy to custom manufacture a tang to fit your specific grip.
In addition the blade includes the following elements.
- African hardwood tang with threaded steel core for maximum strength and durability.
- Mild steel and Bronze bolster
- Soft spine for added flexibility
- 180mm Hardened edge (Hamon is observable on close inspection)
- Readily sharpened with ease
Bear in mind that our cleaver is a working knife and the blade must be cleaned and dried properly as it is made from high carbon steel. The blade should be greased after cleaning with our supplied blade lard.
