Hellfang 5" Hand Forged Butcher Knife, High Carbon Steel

The Hellfang 5" is the compact brute of the lineup — a hand-forged butcher knife sized for trimming, detail cuts, and close-in work where a full cleaver is too much steel. Small blade, zero compromise.

Hand forged from high carbon steel with a full tang running the length of the hardwood handle, it holds a razor edge through silverskin, fat caps, and tough trim work. The raw forge finish above the polished edge keeps drag low and looks like it came straight off the anvil — because it did.

Care Instructions

Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Wipe a light coat of food-grade mineral oil onto the blade before storing to keep the steel in peak condition for decades.

CLEANING

This is high carbon steel a blade that demands respect. Hand wash it right after the use. We mean, the cut. Dry it before it goes back in its sheath. Moisture can only spoil this blade. And the dishwasher.

OILING

Your Xcutlery blade arrives pre oiled. Keep the ritual alive after every clean and dry, give the steel a light coat of oil. Use our mineral oil or any food safe oil you trust. A well oiled blade doesn't age. It sharpens with time.

SHARPENING

Straight out of the box, this thing is sharp and it'll stay that way for months. But legends maintain their edge. When it's time, run it across our whetstone and bring it back to razor perfect. A dull knife is just metal.
