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?

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

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.

I mean no disrespect, but the same cleavers are avail. on Ebay for $75.00

Nice! Do you keep that bookmarked?

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.

Actually, it was the sheath I recognized.....................
