Why this cleaver stands out

• German stainless steel, 5.5mm thick for dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance in busy kitchens.
• Heat-treated to 54 HRC delivers a robust edge that stays sharp through tough chopping, with improved edge retention over time.
• Half-ground blade enhances cutting capability and allows smoother, cleaner slices through dense cuts.
• New Zealand Native Black Maire hardwood scales provide a durable, naturally grained handle that’s comfortable in hand and built to endure regular use. Each cleaver is handmade, so the scales and blade may vary slightly, adding unique character to every piece.
• Weight of 690 grams offers the substantial heft needed for efficient, controlled chopping without excessive wrist effort.
• Made in New Zealand by Victory Knives, a brand with a long heritage of precision manufacturing since 1927, focusing on small, quality-controlled batches for consistent blade microstructure and reliability.
• Lifetime guarantee (excluding misuse and normal wear) reflects the confidence in durability and long-term performance.

Ideal uses and practical tips

• To preserve the edge, hand wash and dry after use. Regular steeling helps maintain the blade’s tidy edge between sharpenings.
