This stunning hand-forged Serbian Cleaver strikes the perfect balance between hardness, flexibility, and toughness - making it the ultimate tool that will make you enjoy cooking so much more! The blade is heated to add flexibility - then honed to a screamingly sharp blade edge. The full tang design of each knife ensures strength and durability, along with better balance and control for improved comfort and grip while cooking.  This hardness will make your knife last longer and hold its sharp cutting edge better than softer steel.
