Chinese Cleaver

- 6.75" ATS34 Stainless Steel Blade
- Hand rubbed satin finish
- Double ground, 3/32" stock
- Cryo processed and triple tempered
- 11" overall
- Black Linen Micarta handle
- Mosaic Pins

Ok, it's not really tactical, but the handle is black. The local gangsters do actually use cleavers as weapons though. One Christmas season they murdered some poor guy with one in full daylight at the West Edmonton Mall. Ick!

This one is even available.

I like it! I think it would make a neato camp tool. Maybe get a slick Kydex sheath for it. That shape would lend itself to everything from chopping to whittling to skinning. You've given me a new tool to think about!

I like it. What is the width of the blade? I'm thinking of making something similar, need to special order the steel though I think.

2 9/16" at the widest. About 1 7/8" at the tip. I cut'em from 6" wide sheets.

Matt - nice looking! Cleaver attacks? Almost as hair raising as machete attacks :barf:

Keep up the good work!!

What kind of a sheath comes with that knife?

 

[Matt Harildstad]

Truly its a kitchen knife. Wasn't gonna have a sheath. If someone wanted to carry it, I could do concealex or kydex, or leather for that matter. I guess one never knows when (or where) the urge to stirfry might strike.
