# Olive Wood Cleaver - Made In

Made in France, our Cleaver combines the best parts of meat and vegetable cleavers to make a do-it-all blade that can tackle even the toughest butchery jobs. 

One of our fastest-selling Knives of all time, the Cleaver is back to make swift, decisive work of meat and vegetables alike.

## Description

First launched in October of 2021, this heavyweight initially sold out in just five hours. Back again for a limited time, the Cleaver is full tang, meaning the blade extends all the way from the tip of the knife through the hilt of the handle for a perfectly balanced performance.

Inspired by old-school butcher shops, it’s optimized for cutting extremely close to the bone, chopping through tough tendons, and can tackle thick-skinned vegetables. 

The Cleaver is crafted in Thiers, France, where a 5th generation bladesmith hand-finishes the Olive Wood handle. It comes with an olive green leather sheath that’s tanned and finished in the Netherlands.

### ★★☆☆☆ Blade chipped easily when cutting Pork Ribs

The cleaver looks great upon receipt and works fine on softer vegetables and meats. 

My blade chipped when used for cutting ribs. 

Not a true butcher cleaver as the blade is too brittle to tackle butchering tasks. 

Mine went back in the wooden case as soon as the blade chipped and had remained there since. 

Be careful if you are purchasing this for any butcher tasks.

### ★★★★★ Great tool.

I bought mine some time back and have found it to exceed expectations. Sharp, versatile enough to handle like a knife for thinner slices. Very sharp!

— Rob72

### ★★★★★ Beautiful and functional.

This is my first full size cleaver, and I love it. I'm glad I waited for this one. Primary use so far is chopping and smashing garlic, and slicing onions. It works a treat, and makes it easy to scoop and transfer. It's also beautiful, heavy and solid, and clearly well made.

### ★★★★★ The Cleaver I have been Searching for

Ibhave been wanting a cleaver and was happy to finally have the chance to try one from Made In.

As expected. Great quality, goo balance and weight in the hand. I have enjoyed it everytime it has been used. Not going to cleave through a femur or anything. (Not withstanding pure determination).

But great for me. Olive wood handle matches 2 of my other Made In knives. Very happy

— I know you know

### ★★★★★ Cleaver

The cleaver is superb. Sharp, solid (well made), use for vegetables and all meats. Also, nice wood case. Beautiful wood handle with instructional care. Money well spent.
