Dalstrong Meat Cleaver Knife - Valhalla Series

The Valhalla Series, a classic knife loved by many, is the focus of this product description. This 7" cleaver from the Valhalla line is designed to conquer both meat and vegetables. Featuring a broad, bench-style blade with a spine that tapers to a finer point, it offers versatility in the kitchen.

Chop through tough squashes and melons, mince vegetables, separate florets of cauliflower or broccoli, or cleave through boneless meats like beef, poultry, or fish - this cleaver is up for the task. Forged from a single-piece, high carbon steel at 60+ Rockwell hardness and hand-sharpened to a savage 8-12 degrees per side, the full-tang blade channels all your might with every slice.

The celestial resin handle, reinforced with stabilized wood and a stainless steel bolster, feels sturdy and turns heads with its rugged and gorgeous design. Complete with a Valhalla-embossed leather sheath, you can keep your knife protected on the go or stashed in a drawer.

Learning to safely handle your knife is key to increasing precision and efficiency in the kitchen. The "hammer grip" is the simplest and most natural way to hold a cleaver, wrapping all 5 fingers around the handle, making no contact with the blade. For more dexterity and control, consider the "pinch grip", wrapping your middle, pinky, and index finger around the handle, with your bent index finger on one side of the blade, just ahead of the bolster, and your thumb on the other side, "pinching" the blade between your two fingers.

The Valhalla Series knives are easy to care for, with minimal maintenance required so you can spend more time cooking. A quick wash with soap and water, air drying or gently wiping off excess water, and storing safely in the included PerfectFit sheath, keeps your blade in top condition both at home and on the go.

Protecting your investment in high-quality knives is important. Learning how to use a whetstone to sharpen your blades ensures they are always ready for any culinary challenge. Sharper knives are safer, as they slice rather than slip or tear.

Dalstrong created the Valhalla Series to bring glory to your kitchen, building tough, ultra-sharp, durable, and comfortable-to-hold knives inspired by Viking warriors. With a celestial resin and wood handle, a Viking shield mosaic, and Norse-inspired details etched into the spine, these knives are as visually stunning as they are high-performing.
