Damascus Cleavers

[A-Tech 8]

So I just got these 2 Demascus Cleavers from Tech Ops. These are really beautiful pieces of art from a Tennessee knife maker (didn't catch the name). They are by far the sharpest pieces of steel that I own. He still has a couple left for anyone that's interested.

Those look sick.   How much?

[A-Tech 8]

I'm friends with the owner of Tech Ops and I didn't pay retail for them so I can't be too sure.

Must be nice! I know high quality steel comes at a premium but I just can't justify spending that much on a knife atm

They are beautiful handcrafted pieces and while $250.00 may seem a lot, consider that a basic stamped steel Japanese Global cleaver retails for $200.00.

I beat my cleavers up hammering through bones and such so a pretty Damascus would be nothing more than a display item and all my knives have to work for a living.

I'm not debating if they are worth the price. But its not feasible for me at the moment

[Duppie 73]

No debate....Even if I could afford it, I find it impractical to purchase a knife or gun just to display it.

I'm sure others will point out that Damascus steel blades are used every day in kitchens all over the world but a cleaver by it's very nature is designed to take massive abuses in it's lifespan. Abuse I'm not sure anyone owning such a beautiful hand crafted blade would abide.

What's funny about that, is me and buddy were debating seeing how well we could throw them. I didn't give birth to them, and I'm not particularly known for handling with care either. I was cutting up pig with one of them the same night that I got them.

Excellent.....and I'm sure it will be used properly in your hands after all you didn't pay retail for them, also I do hope the gentleman included care,and storage instructions for a high carbon blade along with then.

Something along the lines of "don't store in leather holster, blah blah blah" ... I don't think he said blah blah blah, but I wasn't listening. Lol. Again, I don't go easy on anything I own. If it survives ME, it's worthy.

Nice! Do you keep that bookmarked?

[JT Custom Guns 956]

No, but I do collect knives and I see these all the time.

Why would you ask if I keep it bookmarked?

You were very Johnny on the spot. It's no big deal. I'll be sure to relay back to them that they are being sold on eBay.
