Norse TradesmanChef & Cleaver Hybrid Knife - 7.5" Razor Sharp Kitchen Knife – Genuine Cowbone Accented Handle with Celtic Knot Engravings – Artisan Forged

Review for: Norse Tradesman Chef & Cleaver Hybrid KnifeInteresting design - a cross between a cleaver and a chef's knife. If feels good in my hand, you definitely notice the weight and the back edge is wide enough that you can press down on it comfortably Appears to be well-made from high carbon 9Cr18mov premium stainless steel. I did a little research on the steel and this is what I came up with:"The "9" in the name refers to the approximate percentage of chromium in the steel, which contributes to its corrosion resistance. The "Cr" in the name is the chemical symbol for chromium. The "18" in the name refers to the approximate percentage of carbon in the steel, which gives it its hardness and strength.Overall, 9Cr18MoV is a high-quality steel that is known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. It is often compared to other high-end steels such as VG-10 and 154CM, and is a popular choice among knife enthusiasts and professionals.The indentations towards the top of the blade look nice but can trap some food particles which may require some extra cleaning/scrubbing. The knife does come with a sheath, although I have no intention of using it, it also appears to be well-made out of cow hide leather, nicely stitched.

Cuts great. However surface rust developed after first wash. I washed it with warm water, soap, and towel dry then air dry. Now this is my first time owning a knife like this. Any care tips?

This is both a display piece and a useable cleaver. It comes with a thick leather storage case that has a loop for wherever you might want to hang it. The blade is hefty with an imprinted design that reminds me of a leopard print. The hilt is solid wood with a Celtic design on both metal rings. This thing is heavy duty and the edge is sharp. I haven’t utilized it just yet, I’m almost afraid to dirty it up!

I don't usually give 5 star reviews, but I feel like this knife has earned it.This knife is hefty yet well balanced. The blade is sharp and is not dainty...it has substance to it. German steel, so I hope the blade will stay sharp for a while. No info on where it was made, so I'm guessing it was made in PRC...but that's okay. The handle feels like wood, but could be a creative mimic...I'm not sure. This will be my go-to knife for cutting frozen meats!

And cool. It’s very large sized. Good for bbq

Very heavy knife and good quality. I love the design and it comes extremely sharp. The holder is also made of good quality (I think it's real leather) and it has a convenient hang tag. Perfect for cutting meats for me!
