PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This forged Damascus meat cleaver measures 8 inches overall and is built for heavy meat cutting and daily kitchen prep work. The wide, tall blade delivers strong downward cutting power through proteins, dense vegetables, and tough ingredients. The handle is shaped from green pakka wood and secured with steel pins and a mosaic pin. A steel bolster sits between the blade and handle. Full tang construction runs through the entire handle for strength and stable balance throughout every cut.
This is the only single Damascus meat cleaver at JW Steel Crafts with a green pakka wood handle, steel bolster, and mosaic pin in this configuration.
Blade Performance
The blade is forged from layered Damascus steel. The forge-welding and folding process builds a dense layered structure that strengthens the blade and supports consistent edge retention through heavy daily use. The wide blade profile delivers strong downward force for meat breakdown, dense vegetable chopping, and heavy board work. The thick spine adds weight and cutting momentum on each stroke.
The Damascus surface pattern varies naturally on every blade due to the hand-forging process, making each cleaver visually unique. Full tang construction runs the complete length of the green pakka wood handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and controlled cutting throughout extended use.
Handle and Bolster Construction
The handle is shaped from green pakka wood. Pakka wood is natural hardwood compressed with resin under high pressure. It resists moisture, does not swell or crack, and holds its color and surface finish through heavy daily kitchen use. The green color gives this cleaver a bold, distinctive look that stands apart from wood and resin handles across the JW Steel Crafts lineup. Steel pins run through the handle to lock the scales firmly onto the full tang.
A mosaic pin sits centered in the handle for a clean decorative detail that distinguishes this handmade cleaver from factory-produced alternatives. The steel bolster between blade and handle adds front-end weight for better cutting balance and protects fingers from sliding onto the blade edge during heavy chopping work.
Blade Care
Hand-wash this cleaver and dry it straight away after use. Do not put it in a dishwasher. Use a solid wooden cutting board to absorb the impact of heavy cleaver strokes. Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the blade occasionally to maintain the Damascus surface between uses. Sharpen with a whetstone when the edge begins to dull.

- Heavy meat cutting, trimming, and butcher prep tasks

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this cleaver different from other Damascus cleavers at JW Steel Crafts?
This is the only single Damascus cleaver in the store with a green pakka wood handle, steel bolster, and mosaic pin in this configuration.
What is the overall length of this cleaver?
The cleaver measures 8 inches overall with a wide, tall blade profile built for heavy meat cutting and chopping tasks.
What does the mosaic pin on the handle do?
The mosaic pin locks the handle scales firmly to the full tang and adds a decorative handcrafted detail that sets this cleaver apart from factory-produced alternatives.
Is green pakka wood durable for heavy kitchen use?
Yes. Pakka wood is stabilized under resin pressure, making it moisture-resistant, crack-resistant, and far more durable than untreated wood through heavy daily use.
What does the steel bolster do on this cleaver?
The steel bolster adds front-end weight for better cutting balance and stops fingers from sliding onto the blade edge during heavy chopping strokes.
Is this cleaver suitable for bone work?
This cleaver is optimized for heavy meat cutting and dense vegetable prep. For bone splitting, a heavier dedicated bone cleaver is recommended to protect the edge.
Is this cleaver full tang?
Yes. The tang runs the full length of the green pakka wood handle for strength, balance, and long-term durability.
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!
