Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a kitchen cleaver or a survival tool?
It is both! While its size and heft are inspired by traditional meat cleavers, its construction from 5160 spring steel and full-tang handle make it overwhelmingly durable for outdoor survival tasks, bushcraft, and hunting. It's a true multi-purpose powerhouse.
Is it really appropriate as a Valentine's gift?
Absolutely. For the right person, it's a profoundly thoughtful gift. It symbolizes strength, protection, and a willingness to embark on adventures together - far more memorable than a standard card or chocolates. Moreover, it is a gift for someone who appreciates practicality, craftsmanship, and unique symbolism.
How does it compare to your khukuri knives?
The khukuri has a distinctive curved blade optimized for chopping. However, this cleaver features a straight, heavy blade that excels at splitting and precise, powerful cuts on a flat surface. They are complementary tools for different tasks.
What does 'oil tempered' mean?
Oil tempering is a heat treatment process where the steel blade is quenched in oil. Moreover, this controls the cooling rate, resulting in a blade that achieves an optimal balance of hardness (for edge retention) and flexibility (to resist chipping and breaking) under stress.
