PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This forged Damascus cleaver measures 7 inches in blade length with a 4.5-inch grey pakka wood handle. The wide blade delivers strong, controlled chopping and slicing power for daily kitchen prep work. A hanging hole sits at the top of the blade spine for wall hook or rack storage. Three silver pins and a steel bolster anchor every handle scale firmly to the full tang beneath.
This is the only Damascus cleaver at JW Steel Crafts with a grey pakka wood handle, three silver pins, and a hanging hole in this 7-inch twisted Damascus configuration.
The History Behind This Blade
During the Qing Dynasty, Chinese professional kitchen workers relied on a single wide-blade chopper as their primary daily prep tool. The compact cleaver hung on a wall hook above the prep station — always within reach, always ready. No knife block. No drawer. Just a hanging blade and a skilled hand. The JW Steel Crafts 7-inch twisted Damascus cleaver carries that same wall-ready kitchen tradition into every modern prep station.
Blade Performance
The blade is forged from layered Damascus steel in a twisted pattern finish. The twist forging process creates a spiral surface pattern that varies naturally on every blade and strengthens the layered steel structure throughout.
The wide 7-inch profile delivers clean downward cuts through vegetables, meat, herbs, and dense ingredients with strong chopping power and enough weight to work efficiently without extra force. The wide flat also lets you scoop and transfer cut ingredients from board to pan in one smooth motion. Full tang construction runs through the entire grey pakka wood handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and controlled chopping across extended kitchen use.
Handle and Bolster Construction
The handle is shaped from grey pakka wood. Pakka wood is natural hardwood compressed with resin under high pressure. It resists moisture, does not swell or crack, and holds its surface finish through heavy daily kitchen use.
The grey tone gives this cleaver a clean, understated look that stands apart from green, red, blue, and multicolor handle versions in the JW Steel Crafts lineup. Three silver pins lock the pakka wood scales firmly to the full tang for long-term structural reliability. A steel bolster between the blade and handle adds front-end weight for better cutting balance and stops fingers from sliding onto the blade edge during heavy chopping work.
Hanging Hole
The hanging hole at the top of the blade spine lets you hang the cleaver on a wall hook or kitchen rack. This keeps the blade off the counter, within reach during active cooking sessions, and safely stored without a knife block.
Best Used For
- Daily vegetable chopping and kitchen prep tasks
- Meat slicing, herb prep, and garlic crushing
- Ingredient transfer from board to pan
- Wall hook or rack storage using the hanging hole
- Gifting for home cooks and Damascus knife collectors

Let customers speak for us
I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
