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.

An excellent choice for home or in the camper. So sharp as it comes and fits the hand like a glove. Might get two so
I can leave one in the camper and still have one at home for everyday use. Nice job chaps and chapettes!
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.
Ed Martin (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…
Rob (verified owner) –
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.

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.

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

DREW (verified owner) –
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).
Marty Ellis (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.
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!
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.

Thanks to Fire to Fork for the recommendation
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
Sam (verified owner) –
Incredible knife, so good for cutting up meat or anything really. Nice weight to it and 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.
