Zassenhaus Cleaver Chef’s Knife 17cm – Handcrafted Hammered Blade with Pakka Wood Handle and Leather Sheath

A handcrafted 170mm cleaver built for heavy kitchen work and outdoor use, complete with belt-loop leather sheath.

The Zassenhaus Cleaver bridges the gap between a chef’s knife and a butcher’s cleaver. The 170mm blade has the weight and edge to push through larger cuts of meat and fish, work around bone and joint poultry, but keeps enough finesse to handle general chopping on the board.

Each knife is handmade from special blade steel and finished with a hammered surface. The dimpled face does more than look good – it breaks suction between blade and food, so slices of meat, potato and firm vegetables release cleanly instead of climbing the side of the knife. The pakka wood handle is shaped to sit naturally in the hand and holds its grip through wet work. A fitted leather sheath with integrated belt loop comes in the box, making this a rare kitchen knife that is genuinely set up for outdoor and off-site use. A hanging hole in the blade lets it live on a magnetic rail or hook back in the kitchen.

Features

• Handcrafted Construction – Each blade is individually made from special blade steel, giving a finished product with the weight and balance of a hand-finished knife rather than a mass-produced one.
• Hammered Blade Face – The dimpled hammered finish creates air pockets between blade and food, reducing sticking when slicing meat, potato and dense vegetables.
• Cleaver-Style Profile – Broad 170mm blade handles larger cuts of meat and fish, works through bone and jointing tasks, and doubles for general chopping duties.
• Pakka Wood Handle – Resin-stabilised laminated hardwood handle is dimensionally stable, grip-friendly when wet, and shaped for comfortable extended use.
• Leather Sheath Included – Fitted leather sheath with integrated belt loop protects the edge in transport and makes the knife practical for outdoor cooking, hunting and camp use.
• Hanging Hole – Blade is drilled for hook or rail storage when the sheath is off duty in the kitchen.
