Heralded as the favourite knife of Youtube’s ‘Fire to Fork’ Harry Fisher and promoted in various of his top item videos, OZ Braai’s hand-forged, full-tang Serbian chef’s cleaver is a must-have for every passionate cook – just ask any one of the thousands who have bought it!
Promising unparalleled dexterity, the Chef’s Cleaver is an all-rounder, perfect for slicing through everything from garlic and onions to the finest cuts of meat, juicy steaks, large chunky meat slabs or your house-made BILTONG.
Fashioned from high carbon steel and widely noted for the longevity of its sharpness, this iconic Serbian Cleaver is one of the most durable hand-forged knives around.
The blade and handle are integrated as one solid piece, with an ergonomically designed hardwood casing shaped for a very comfortable, balanced handgrip that feels second nature.
The ample 7″ (18 cm) blade comes with a unique canvas sheath that doubles as a safety feature to protect both the blade and everything else from coming into harm’s way.
Weighing a respectable 300 grams, a gentle guide of the blade down and against the grain will be all that’s needed for the perfect cut every time.
Whether you’re starting to find your way around the kitchen or an avid knife collector, this is the one you’ll be reaching for time and time again.

CARING FOR YOUR NEW CARBON STEEL KNIFE
This Cleaver is hand-forged from high carbon steel with the black iron oxide left on the blade to give it a premium hand-forged look. Please clean the knife before using it for the first time using soapy water and drying with a hand towel. Leaving it wet will cause the blade to corrode and get rust marks on the blade.
Some of the black iron oxide will peel off after the first couple of cleans, but it will keep its hand-forged look for years to come.
The shiny part of the blade will turn a dull blue colour over time called patina, but it is perfectly normal and will help protect the blade from corroding. Some acidic foods, like chicken and lemon, will instantly leave patina marks due to its acidic nature, but that adds to the uniqueness of the knife. For day to day use we recommend washing it with soap and water, but please ensure to dry it immediately.
High carbon steel is robust and long-lasting and will keep its edge longer than stainless steel.

Mat Rogers (verified owner) –
Outstanding customer service!!! The team at Ozbraai absolutely nailed this with my recent purchase.
So before I get onto the product itself, I feel I need to highlife one import area a lot of companies get wrong and that’s customer service.
When I initially ordered my chef knife combo I selected the chef’s knife and cleaver, I ended up with the cleaver and machete.
I contacted the team via Instagram on a Sunday to advise of the mistake.
I received a reply back within 10 minutes, after checking my order and confirming the mistake.
They sent the correct knife the following morning, and I received it two days later in WA!
On top of this I received a sincere apology and was told to keep the incorrect knife as a gift for the mistake. This is no $20 knife we’re talking about.
So the knife itself… OMG why have I been struggling for so long with cheap knives, game changer.
Will certainly be purchasing from these guys in the future.

I recently purchased the Chef’s Cleaver to use on camping trips. It’s been used for everything from chopping up veggies to field dressing and cooking rabbit. The size and weight make it perfect for me, I genuinely enjoy using it. My wife finds it a little too heavy, good thing I didn’t buy it for her…
Rob (verified owner) –

I cooked up a lamb spit on my Auspit at Christmas and carved it up with my new Ozbraai chef’s cleaver. No effort what so ever, it was like cutting through melted butter. Love this knife over my Snow Peak ones
christjoeka (verified owner) –
My wife purchased for Christmas and arrived day before. I haven’t been able to put it down and feels balanced and light, but also makes light work chopping pork spareribs and the professional cut to roasted pork belly. I might have to hide it away as kids and wife starting to expect more gourmet. Thanks OzBraai

GREAT KNIFE
Jackson (verified owner) –
Quality knife. Well balanced and comfortable to use despite the clunky look. Incredibly sharp straight out of the box. Haven’t had to sharpen it yet (light work for couple months). Needs to be washed and dried immediately after use, however. I sat mine on the bench for 30 minutes after a rinse and it now has little orange spots.
Cheers for the recommendation, Harry from Fire to Fork (youtube).

Sam Hand (verified owner) –
This knife is awesome, looks good and is well made with a nice weight to it. Ergonomics are great when using it, and its just as at home slicing cleanly and easily through fresh baked bread as it is a nice piece of meat. I use it for all but the finest cutting. Thanks also to Harry from Fire to Fork also as I wouldn’t have know it existed if it wasn’t for him!

I like a lot of people saw the knife used on FiretoFork(Youtube), I was in the lookout for a new knife and decided to give it a go, I have been really impressed so far from cutting through large meat pieces to more delicate trimming for Beef Jerky,
A must for the kitchen or camp

Incredible knife, so good for cutting up meat or anything really. Nice weight to it and very sharp.
