Forgebite Cleaver – Hand-Forged Small Butcher’s Blade

The Forgebite Cleaver is a compact powerhouse designed for serious chopping in the kitchen, on the trail, or in the field. Hand-forged from high-carbon 5160 spring steel and hardened with traditional water tempering, this short cleaver packs weight and precision into a small frame. Its stout blade makes it ideal for breaking down meat, trimming bone, or handling tight prep tasks with confidence.

With a 4-inch rosewood handle and a 5-inch forged blade, the Forgebite is lightweight, easy to carry, and strong enough to take a beating. The raw-forged finish on the upper portion of the blade gives it a rugged, artisanal look, while the sharp lower edge is polished and ready to go. Each cleaver comes with a handmade leather sheath for safe storage and carry.
