D2 Steel Cleaver Chopper, 325 mm, with Wenge Wood Handle and Leather Sheath
This heavy-duty cleaver provides exceptional chopping power for culinary and butchery tasks. The blade is hand-forged from D2 stainless steel, known for its edge retention and durability, with a substantial 750 g weight that aids in processing large cuts.
The full-tang construction ensures strength and balance, extending into a contoured Wenge wood handle secured with a decorative mosaic pin. The generous 197.5 mm blade offers a large cutting surface, while the overall 325 mm length provides ample leverage and control.
Designed for chefs, butchers, and outdoor cooking enthusiasts, this tool excels at portioning meat, disjointing poultry, and chopping through tough vegetables. It includes a custom-fit leather sheath to protect the blade.

Before you order
Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.
Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
