Caring for your blade
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.

They are made with great craftsmanship and super sharp. I can’t wait to use them again!

Joye Roberts Verified owner
Bought the whole set and sharpener for my husband who thinks they are the best. They’re very bloody sharp, well balanced and look awesome. Great for home and easy to pack for camping. The sheaths are a bonus in the kitchen drawers so they stay sharp and kills the risk of cutting fingers when rifling through the drawer. Very good quick service too.
Peter Frost Verified owner

Peter Slater Verified owner
What an awesome piece of kit. I bought the full set, robust and Sharp as. Pretty daunting weapons when you pull them out over a camp cook up with folks you don’t know. But they all relax once they see how they perform. Highly recommend them to any serious camper / cook.
Ian Verified owner
My kids think I have a problem with knives. No problem when they are as good as the FireChef Machete! A well weighted and razor-sharp piece of kit. The machete completes my OzBraai set. But where do I keep it – in the 4WD or house?
