This forged Damascus meat cleaver measures 8 inches overall and is built for heavy meat cutting and daily kitchen prep work. The wide, tall blade delivers strong downward cutting power through proteins, dense vegetables, and tough ingredients. The handle is shaped from green pakka wood and secured with steel pins and a mosaic pin. A steel bolster sits between the blade and handle. Full tang construction runs through the entire handle for strength and stable balance throughout every cut.

This is the only single Damascus meat cleaver at JW Steel Crafts with a green pakka wood handle, steel bolster, and mosaic pin in this configuration.

Blade Performance

The blade is forged from layered Damascus steel. The forge-welding and folding process builds a dense layered structure that strengthens the blade and supports consistent edge retention through heavy daily use. The wide blade profile delivers strong downward force for meat breakdown, dense vegetable chopping, and heavy board work. The thick spine adds weight and cutting momentum on each stroke.

The Damascus surface pattern varies naturally on every blade due to the hand-forging process, making each cleaver visually unique. Full tang construction runs the complete length of the green pakka wood handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and controlled cutting throughout extended use.

Handle and Bolster Construction

The handle is shaped from green pakka wood. Pakka wood is natural hardwood compressed with resin under high pressure. It resists moisture, does not swell or crack, and holds its color and surface finish through heavy daily kitchen use. The green color gives this cleaver a bold, distinctive look that stands apart from wood and resin handles across the JW Steel Crafts lineup. Steel pins run through the handle to lock the scales firmly onto the full tang.

A mosaic pin sits centered in the handle for a clean decorative detail that distinguishes this handmade cleaver from factory-produced alternatives. The steel bolster between blade and handle adds front-end weight for better cutting balance and protects fingers from sliding onto the blade edge during heavy chopping work.

Blade Care

Hand-wash this cleaver and dry it straight away after use. Do not put it in a dishwasher. Use a solid wooden cutting board to absorb the impact of heavy cleaver strokes. Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the blade occasionally to maintain the Damascus surface between uses. Sharpen with a whetstone when the edge begins to dull.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this cleaver different from other Damascus cleavers at JW Steel Crafts?

This is the only single Damascus cleaver in the store with a green pakka wood handle, steel bolster, and mosaic pin in this configuration.

What is the overall length of this cleaver?

The cleaver measures 8 inches overall with a wide, tall blade profile built for heavy meat cutting and chopping tasks.

What does the mosaic pin on the handle do?

The mosaic pin locks the handle scales firmly to the full tang and adds a decorative handcrafted detail that sets this cleaver apart from factory-produced alternatives.

Is green pakka wood durable for heavy kitchen use?

Yes. Pakka wood is stabilized under resin pressure, making it moisture-resistant, crack-resistant, and far more durable than untreated wood through heavy daily use.

What does the steel bolster do on this cleaver?

The steel bolster adds front-end weight for better cutting balance and stops fingers from sliding onto the blade edge during heavy chopping strokes.

Is this cleaver suitable for bone work?

This cleaver is optimized for heavy meat cutting and dense vegetable prep. For bone splitting, a heavier dedicated bone cleaver is recommended to protect the edge.

Is this cleaver full tang?

Yes. The tang runs the full length of the green pakka wood handle for strength, balance, and long-term durability.

Better than you imagined...
I bought a 4'x6' from Safavieh 10 years ago and just received its replacement. I've slept on it every night and meditated on it every day. In short, I love it. It's the most comfortable surface I can imagine. Here's what you need to know. A sheepskin is just that, animal pelt(s). The 4x6 is four pelts sewn together. It will have a sheepskin smell, which will reduce over time. When it comes, it is rolled up and in a heavy clear poly sleeve, Open the end, not the side! This way if you need to return it, you can roll and slide it right back into the shipping sleeve. The dimensions you buy are approximate. It's a naturally variable product. You might prefer a medical sheepskin if you live in a hot climate. The fur on these is altered to make the hairs shorter. I think I will cover it with a bottom sheet from now on. It might last 20 years that way.

PACKAGE STUNK UP BLDG HALLWAY
I went downstairs to pick up the package from our building management office. I could smell it already. The rug was rolled up in clear plastic with one end exposed/open. From what I could touch, the rug felt soft and the color was good. But I was embarrassed to have received this and then bring it into the elevator with me. The smell was horrendous, like sewage or fecal matter. BACKSTORY: I had ordered 2 different sheepskin rugs from 2 different brands. My first time buying sheepskin. The other has a very faint animal/hide smell that is detected only when right up against it. This Safavieh rug, however, was for a different location in the house. Even without the first rug for comparison, the smell of this one is unbearable. I've bought many wool and polypropylene rugs from Safavieh. So I did not expect a negative experience.

Great product: thick and cozy
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Natural (Ivory Whiite)
This is a lovely, thick sheepskin. I’m using it to drape over a chair. It’s very soft. The color is a natural white. Arrived quickly. The price was great for such a wonderful sheepskin.

Love it!
Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Linen, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Linen
Exceeded all expectations. Bigger than I imagined it would be, super soft and thick, beautiful color (Linen), and no funky smell at all. It seems very durable. After running my hands all over it, no shedding occurred. I have yet to sit on it myself, though, as my cat claimed it right away - didn't even wait for me to remove the tag! He's been there for hours and I'm thinking I've lost my snuggle buddy, so I bought two more in the smaller size so he can have his own on the bed with me at night. I am so amazed by the quality, feel, and color. I can't believe I almost let other reviews deter me from this purchase. 100% thrilled with this beautiful pelt. Absolutely recommend! UPDATE: I received the other 2 purchased. Just as soft, just as thick, consistent color (Linen), no shedding, no smell. They have been in use for several days now without any issues. Love them all - and my snuggle buddy is back! 🥰
