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.

I love the look and feel of this knife. I use it to butterfly chicken, slice steak and veggies at the braai. The carbon steel is easy to sharpen.

Love it. Very well made. Has a good heavy feel and cuts through the toughest of meats. Use it all the time. Brilliant for heavy jobs. Take it bush so it’s a part of my off road tackle.

I Purchased 2 x 7″ butchers cleaver, one for myself and one for my son, after watching Harry from Fire to Fork, they are the best cleaver I have owned, they stay sharp, easy to use and are comfortable in the hand, it is now used everyday and I would highly recommend them, it was also quick delivery

Absolutley fantastic knife! Have used it many many times, and its still holding its edge really well. And the patina is amazing!
Trevor Groeneveld (verified owner) –
I had to wait for this knife to be delivered due to its popularity, but glad i did. its got a great edge to it (surgically sharp!!)and is suitable for just about all applications necessary particularly in a camp kitchen. Important to keep it dry and well oiled when stored
Fred Smittou (verified owner) –
Awesome knife, we have other of the shelve cleavers but this one surpasses them all. I mainly got this knife for camping and bush cooking but have found it gets used at home all the time, love the feel in the hand and holds its edge well, I’m sure we will have many years of service from this knife.
Everything that I have ordered online from ozbraai has been an effortless process.
Thank you to Fire to Fork for the recommendation.
Thank you OzBraai

Took Harry Fisher’s recommendation and signed up to be notified when there was stock. Not disappointed, quick delivery, quality product. Bought for camping, but am using everyday at home. Need to remember to pack for next trip OR buy another 🙂
Paul Aracic (verified owner) –
Love that I can slice effortlessly, then scoop up everything and transfer to the pan and even stir. Respect it and use a steel after washing and drying before storing in the sleeve. Awesome knife
Clint McGoldrick –
Love the knife. The weight on blade makes cutting simple. I use it the same way as firetofork, and it will be a great addition to the camping setup.
Katie (verified owner) –

Very impressed with the quality and comfort of the knife. I love this knife and must thank fire to fork for recommending this knife. Just take care these knifes are very sharp.
Chris (verified owner) –
Love it. Well balanced, feels good to hold. Holds its edge well. Kinda wish the sheath was darker so it doesn’t show the camping dirt so much.
Sam (verified owner) –
Incredible knife, so good for cutting up meat or anything really. Nice weight to it and very sharp.
Jeremy Irving (verified owner) –
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
Rick Hunter (verified owner) –
I like the balance and utility of the knife. Nicely made and presented.
Thanks to Fire to Fork for the recommendation
Rob (verified owner) –
I bought this knife purely on its looks, that aside and is now my go-to knife. Great quality and holds well in the hand. Love it.
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!
_ExploreOz (verified owner) –
So far so good!!! Had he knife less than 2 days before i managed to cut mu finger with it. Very very shard haha.
Matt (verified owner) –
Fantastic knife. Razor sharp out of the box and holds an edge beautifully. It’s still slicing tomatoes likes it’s fresh out of the box and we’ve had it nearly a year now. I’d happy purchase again
Chris (verified owner) –

Absolutely beautiful knife that keeps a sharp edge after use.
Marty Ellis (verified owner) –
Fantastic versatile knife, very comfortable to use and most importantly stays sharp!
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).

Robyn pearson (verified owner) –
Amazing knife it my favourite you can cut up anything with it it’s so sharp and has such a nice feel to it will never buy another knife again
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
Ben Murray (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

Bill (verified owner) –
Such a beatiful knife. I’ve been searching for a good size cleaver and this is the one, extremely happy with the wait. Overall, this is a gem, its so versatily and you’ll have the confidence that the blade will stay sharp longer than any other cleaver on the market. Construction, very well made….love the carbon steel, very sexy and unique in my arsenal of knifes.

Highly recommend this product

As someone who has lived most of my life on the land, I understand the importance of quality tools. The Chef’s Cleaver is a ripper!
Indoors or out bush if I’m preparing a meal its my main tool. A great bit of kit.
VHC Chef (verified owner) –
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…
Scott Riddell (verified owner) –
Impressive quality piece of kit
shane vk (verified owner) –

Jess Holmes –
Will not camp cook without it! My partner bought this after seeing it on Fire to Fork and I though ‘oh yeah a knife’ but now I am obsessed! Just got back from a 10 day trip and there wasn’t a meal we made without it. Cannot speak highly enough of this knife as an all rounder, and I am about to purchase the chefs knife to join the kit. BIG FAN!
janis kruska (verified owner) –
Bought the chef’s cleaver and knife as a package. Great deal. Primarily bought it to go camping, the sheath is a blessing.
Will be buying another one for home.
Daniel Keates (verified owner) –
This knife is my new go-to knife, it stays sharp, cuts well and is comfortable to use. I have had so many people ask me where to get one! They are awesome!
