Knifz Forge Cleaver — 8″
Knifz Forge Cleaver — 8″
An 8-inch hammer-forged cleaver in 4Cr13 high-carbon stainless steel. Full-tang build, 15° hand-honed edge, Wenge wood handle with brass rivets, fitted leather sheath included. Weighted for whole poultry, ribs, squash, and anything else that needs heft behind the blade.
WHAT'S IN YOUR HAND
1. WEIGHT WHERE YOU WANT IT
A broad 8-inch blade with a 2.5 mm spine carries real momentum, so it does the work on dense cuts instead of your wrist.
2. HAMMER-FORGED FACE
Forged for toughness; the dimpled surface keeps thick slices of meat and vegetables from clinging to the blade.
3. FULL TANG, WENGE HANDLE
Steel runs end to end through a dense Wenge handle pinned with brass rivets, keeping a heavy blade balanced and secure.
4. LEATHER SHEATH IN THE BOX
Fitted saddle-brown sheath with brass snap for safe storage and transport.
KNIFE CARE & MAINTENANCE ▾
Hand wash in warm soapy water and towel-dry straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher or leave it sitting in the sink. Wipe a little food-grade mineral oil on the blade and handle every few weeks. Touch up the edge with the Knifz EdgeKeeper or a fine whetstone. Not intended for bones or frozen food.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Quick answers. Email Support@knifz.com for anything else.
Can I chop through bones with it? ▾
Light poultry joints, yes. It isn't made for heavy bone-splitting or frozen food — that will chip any 15° edge.
What's the difference between the cleaver and the chef's knife? ▾
The cleaver is broader, heavier, and uses 4Cr13 steel with a slightly thinner spine; it's for jobs that need weight. The chef's knife is lighter and more precise for everyday slicing and dicing. Most people end up wanting both.
What comes in the box? ▾
The cleaver and a fitted leather sheath with a brass snap closure.
Is it dishwasher safe? ▾
No. Hand wash and dry immediately.
How does the 30-day guarantee work? ▾
Use it for 30 days. If it isn't what you expected, email Support@knifz.com for a full refund.
