This forged Damascus cleaver knife measures 6 inches overall and is built for precise chopping, slicing, and daily prep work. The blade carries a wave pattern Damascus finish across the full flat.

Blade Performance

The blade is forged from layered Damascus steel in a wave pattern finish. The wave pattern forms naturally during the forge-welding and folding process and is visible across the full blade flat. The layered steel structure builds consistent edge retention and cutting strength through repeated daily use.

The wide blade profile delivers clean downward cuts through vegetables, proteins, and herbs with strong chopping power in a compact 6-inch size. Full tang construction runs through the entire pakka wood handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and controlled cutting on every stroke.

Handle Construction

The handle is shaped from red and blue multicolor pakka wood. Pakka wood is a natural hardwood compressed with resin under high pressure. It resists moisture, does not swell or crack, and holds its color and surface finish through daily kitchen and outdoor use. The red and blue color combination gives this knife a bold, distinctive appearance that stands apart from single-color handle knives across the JW Steel Crafts lineup. 

A mosaic pin sits centered in the handle for a clean decorative detail that marks this as a handcrafted piece. A brass-lined lanyard hole at the base of the handle lets you attach a cord for secure carry or hang the knife for display and wall storage.

Tooled Leather Sheath

The burgundy leather sheath features a hand-tooled embossed pattern across the outer surface with a snap button closure. It protects the blade during carry and storage and is designed for belt carry during outdoor and kitchen use. The decorative, tooled finish matches the handcrafted character of the mosaic pin handle detail.
