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.
At JWSteelCrafts, we get a lot of questions about this style. So let's break down what makes it special and why a bold red and blue pakka wood handle still holds up as a distinctive collector's choice today.
What Exactly Is This Damascus Cleaver Knife?
The handle is shaped from red and blue multicolor pakka wood with a mosaic pin and a brass-lined lanyard hole. A hand-tooled burgundy leather sheath with an embossed pattern and snap button closure is included. Engraving of a name or initials is available on request.

Why the Wide Cleaver Profile Still Matters
The wide blade profile delivers clean downward cuts through vegetables, proteins, and herbs with strong chopping power in a compact 6-inch size, giving you real cutting capability without taking up much room in a kitchen or camp kit.
Red and Blue Pakka Wood Handle: Comfort and Character
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 JWSteelCrafts lineup.
Wave Pattern Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern
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.
Full Tang Construction, and Ready for Kitchen or Camp
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. A mosaic pin sits centered in the handle for a clean decorative detail, and a brass-lined lanyard hole lets you attach a cord for secure carry or hang the knife for display.

What Comes With It
The burgundy leather sheath features a hand-tooled embossed pattern across the outer surface with a snap button closure, designed for belt carry during outdoor and kitchen use. Browse more handmade options at JWSteelCrafts.
