Effortless Meat Cutting with Jun's Damascus Cleavers
At Jun Knives, every cleaver is hand-forged using premium materials and traditional Japanese techniques. Our Damascus steel cleavers are made with 67 layers of folded steel, providing outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. With a Rockwell Hardness rating of 60–63 HRC, these blades are tough enough to cut through bone, tendon, and muscle with minimal effort.
