Description: Dave Skinner brings a refined eye and tremendous skill at the forge to his knives. Whether forging a chef’s knife, a hunting knife, or a bowie, Dave’s exquisite work immediately grabs my attention.
Meat cleavers are ideal for chopping large cuts of meat, bone, and hearty vegetables. Having a meat cleaver for heavier tasks ensures your primary knife used in the kitchen always stays in tip-top shape.
The blade was hand forged to shape from 1070 carbon steel. 1070 carbon steel takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds onto it. It is very responsive to honing with a ceramic rod and sharpening stones. Like other carbon steel knives, it should be dried and oiled after use. The trade-off of slightly more care for much higher performance is worthwhile for most users.
G-Carta handle scales are set on black liners. G-Carta is not only exceptionally dramatic, but it provides a sure, non-slip grip. The scales are set on a full tang for strength and durability. Stainless steel Corby rivets set the scales in place.
This hand forged meat cleaver from South African bladesmith Dave Skinner is sure to become a kitchen favorite and a family heirloom!
Exquisite work throughout!
