# 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.

### ★★★★★ The right choice

This was my first cleaver. I needed something to quickly break down whole chickens. I’m a home cook and don’t have a ton of time to cook during the week, so my meal prep gets condensed into a few hours on the weekend. After a grocery run to bag the best lean protein for the lowest cost, I have a lot of processing to do. Not only did my cleaver reduce the prep time, I really enjoyed getting deli thin slices off some of my larger pieces (e.g., beef for a Philly cheesesteak or chicken for a club sandwich. I had worried needlessly over the order. Did I really need this? But as I unsheathed it, my doubts faded away. As soon a as I had it in my hands on the cutting board I knew I’d made the right choice.

### ★★★★★ A cleaver keeper

A very well constructed clever; a precision made blade, combined with the balanced weight and feel of the olive wood handle, and not an oversized cleaver makes this a keepsake in any cook’s kitchen.

### ★★★★★ Cleaver

Perfect forward weight and extremely sharp. Sheath is a great addition!

— Doug

### ★★★★★ Awesome

This is exactly what I needed. Sometimes I need more weight than a standard chef knife. This is just sharp and easy to use. The Olive wood handle is beautiful. Would recommend to anyone.
