PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The cleaver has a long history as one of the most functional blade designs in kitchens and camps alike, valued for its wide, heavy blade that makes chopping and portioning easier. Traditional cleavers were built for strength first, favoring a design that could handle repeated, heavy-duty cutting without losing performance.
Damascus steel brought a new level of craftsmanship to this practical design. Made by folding and layering different steels together, Damascus steel became known for its strength and its distinct wavy pattern. Skilled bladesmiths continue that same forging tradition today, hand-crafting each cleaver using techniques passed down through generations, combining old-world blade making with genuine Damascus craftsmanship.
Introduction
A good cleaver needs to combine weight, balance, and a blade that holds up to heavy use. This handmade Damascus steel cleaver is built with that in mind, featuring a wide Damascus blade paired with a steel bolster and a natural camel bone handle for a comfortable, secure grip.
These cleavers have become popular with more than just kitchen use. The layered Damascus pattern, camel bone handle, and detailed bolster work make this knife a strong choice for collectors, chefs, and gift buyers who want a handmade blade with real character. Whether it's used for chopping and portioning or displayed as part of a collection, this cleaver brings together practical function and craftsmanship in one piece.
Blade
The blade is what defines this cleaver's performance. Damascus steel is created by folding and forging layers of steel together, producing a unique pattern on every blade along with added strength and edge retention. This cleaver features a 9 inch Damascus blade, giving it the length and weight needed for heavy chopping and portioning tasks. A Damascus bolster sits between the blade and handle, adding extra strength while continuing the layered pattern into the knife's design.
Uses & Safety
A Damascus cleaver works well for kitchen prep tasks like chopping vegetables, portioning meat, and general heavy-duty cutting. Always cut on a stable surface, keep the blade sharp since a dull edge requires more force and increases slip risk, and store the knife safely away from children when not in use. After each use, wash the blade by hand, dry it thoroughly, and apply a light coat of oil to protect the steel and preserve the Damascus pattern.
If you're looking for a well-made blade built for real kitchen and outdoor use, JW SteelCrafts' collection of handmade hunting knives offers Damascus steel construction designed to perform for years.

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!
