Kermode 7" Hand Forged Chef's Cleaver, High Carbon Steel

Meet the Kermode 7" — a hand-forged, all-purpose chef's cleaver built for home cooks and professionals alike. Inspired by traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship, this high carbon steel blade pairs rustic artisan styling with razor-sharp everyday performance.

The curved edge is built for smooth rocking motions — dicing herbs, mincing garlic, prepping vegetables and meat with precision — while the tall cleaver profile gives generous knuckle clearance and doubles as a scoop for moving ingredients. One blade, the whole board.

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.
