Rhino 8" Hand Forged Cleaver, High Carbon Steel, Walnut Handle

The Rhino 8" Modified Cleaver leverages raw mass and hand-forged high carbon steel to power through heavy cuts while holding a razor-sharp working edge — built for the serious pitmaster and butcher.

The 8-inch blade keeps its dark forge-scale texture along the flats to stop food sticking, a stark, utilitarian contrast against the polished cutting edge. Engineered with a deep belly and distinct forward weight, it chews through dense root vegetables and heavy proteins with equal contempt, balanced by a warm walnut handle.

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.
