The PODX Compact Fixed-Blade Cleaver delivers surprising power in a palm-size profile. Forged from 3Cr13 stainless steel and heat-treated for a resilient working edge, this mini cleaver excels at quick prep, camp cooking, and everyday utility. A contoured wood-accent handle anchors confidently in hand, while the broad, slightly arced edge makes fast work of herbs, veg, protein trimming, and trail meals.

FAQ

What steel is the blade made from?
3Cr13 stainless steel, chosen for reliable corrosion resistance and easy maintenance.
How hard is the blade?
The target hardness is about 57 HRC, balancing toughness with everyday edge holding.
Is it easy to sharpen?
Yes. Touch up on a ceramic rod or fine stone; finish with a quick strop for a keen edge.
Can this replace a full-size chef’s knife?
It’s a compact cleaver—great for small boards, trail meals, and quick prep. For heavy or high-volume kitchen work, a full-size chef’s knife still wins on throughput.
Does it include a sheath or pouch?
Yes—ships with a protective pouch and a color box suitable for gifting or retail display.
Is the handle slippery when wet?
The wood-accent scales are contoured for purchase; keep clean and dry for best grip. Add a light food-safe wax if you want extra traction.
Food safe?
The stainless blade is suitable for typical food prep. Wash, dry, and store promptly after use.
Care tips
Hand-wash only. Dry completely. Apply a thin coat of food-safe oil to the blade before long-term storage.
