It is for people who break down big cuts themselves, in the kitchen or over a camp fire, and want a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/knife-sets\"\u003ecleaver set\u003c\/a\u003e that can take a beating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eForged in the Serbian Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three are forged in the Serbian style. The blade is worked thick and wide, the flats are hammered by hand and the forge scale stays on. The butcher cleaver and the sheep foot cleaver are finished in hammer textured high carbon steel, so the dimpled surface you see is the actual record of the hammer. Each is forged on its own, so none is a copy of another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Cleaver Does What\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eClassic Butcher Cleaver\u003c\/strong\u003e has a sweeping belly and carries its weight forward, so it drops hard into a chop and still rocks smoothly through a cut. Its wenge grip is dense and shrugs off moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDrop Point Cleaver\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you chopping power with a proper tip. Use the point for detail work, then get back to heavy prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSheep Foot Cleaver\u003c\/strong\u003e has a broad straight edge and a rounded spine. It is the control knife of the group, good for clean push cuts and mincing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edges are built to stand up to bone and cartilage.
