New vintage Amcut (Import brnad not maker name) 6" cleaver made in Italy in the 1960s with forged carbon steel blade and cherry wood handle.

This was never used but had aquired a little rust which has been cleaned off, and the edge was profoundly dull so it has been given a fresh convex edge. Normally we opt to leave new old stock knives in as original condition as possible but this one was beyond what a few whetstones could do.


cutting edge is 6", overall length 11 3/8" and weighs 15.7 oz

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
