Hand-Forged Boning Cleaver, Wood Handle
Discover the Hand-Forged Boning Cleaver
Meet the cleaver that turns bone-in cuts and heavy prep into an easy job instead of a workout. Hand hammered from dense 30Cr13MoV steel with a heavy, chip-resistant edge, it's built to handle meat, joints and dense veg with real confidence behind every cut.
Compact at 19.2cm total length with a 12.5cm blade, it's light enough to control with one hand yet weighted enough to do serious work. The riveted wood handle keeps your grip locked in through repeated heavy chopping, and the hand-hammered finish looks as good as it performs.
Why the Hand-Forged Boning Cleaver Is a Must-Have
- Serious Chopping Power: A heavy edge angle over 60° cuts straight through bone, joints and dense cuts.
- Hand-Hammered Steel: Dense 30Cr13MoV steel resists chipping and rust, built for daily heavy use.
- Smart Cutout Design: Lightens the blade, adds a second grip point, and lets it hang for storage.
- Secure Grip: Riveted wood handle stays steady through repeated heavy chopping.
- Compact and Controlled: Easy to handle with one hand, without losing any weight behind the cut.

Frequently asked questions
➤ What is this cleaver actually built for?
Boning, breaking down poultry, and heavier cuts that need weight behind the blade rather than a fine edge, meat, joints, small bones and dense vegetables included.
➤ What does the cutout in the blade actually do?
It's functional rather than decorative. It removes weight from the spine of the blade, gives you a second grip point for more control on heavier cuts, and lets the knife hang for storage.
➤ What's the blade made of?
30Cr13MoV stainless steel, hand forged and hammered into shape rather than stamped, which gives it a denser edge that resists chipping under repeated heavy use.
➤ Is the handle really wood?
Yes, riveted hardwood, shaped for a secure grip through repeated heavy chopping.
➤ How is the edge different from a standard chef knife?
It's ground to a heavier angle, over 60° compared with the 15° edge on a typical chef knife, which trades fine slicing ability for the strength to chop through bone and joints without chipping.
➤ Is this dishwasher safe?
Hand wash and dry after use, the same as any forged kitchen knife, to protect both the edge and the handle.
➤ Is this a good gift?
The hand-hammered finish and cutout design make it a distinctive, conversation-starting gift, particularly for anyone who already takes cooking or butchering seriously.
➤ What if it's not the right fit for me?
Backed by a 30-day return window, no questions asked.
