7” Damascus Clever with Wa Handles

The Middleton Made 7" High Carbon Damascus Cleaver with Wa Handle is crafted for cooks who demand exceptional edge retention, precision, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship. Combining the versatility of a chef's knife with the power and control of a cleaver, this handcrafted kitchen knife is equally at home slicing vegetables, preparing proteins, chopping herbs, and tackling everyday meal prep.

Forged from high carbon Damascus steel, the blade delivers outstanding sharpness, superior edge retention, and the striking layered pattern that makes every knife one of a kind. The high carbon core allows the knife to take an incredibly fine edge, making clean, effortless cuts while rewarding proper care with years of exceptional performance.

Its taller 7-inch blade provides outstanding knuckle clearance and additional control while allowing you to transfer chopped ingredients directly from the cutting board to the pan with ease.

Paired with a handcrafted traditional Japanese Wa handle, the knife feels incredibly balanced and agile in the hand. The lightweight octagonal handle shifts the balance toward the blade, reducing fatigue and allowing the knife to glide naturally through every cut.

Built by Middleton Made with uncompromising attention to detail, this is more than a kitchen knife—it's a tool designed to be passed down for generations.

Why You'll Love It

A truly exceptional knife disappears in your hand, allowing you to focus entirely on the meal you're creating. The Middleton Made 7" High Carbon Damascus Cleaver combines the remarkable cutting performance of high carbon steel with the elegance of Damascus craftsmanship and the balance of a traditional Wa handle.

Care Note: Because high carbon Damascus steel is not fully stainless, hand wash and dry immediately after use. Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil periodically to preserve the blade's beauty and protect it from corrosion.
