Rainforge Emberstone™ 512-Layer Raindrop Damascus Cleaver Knife – Brown Micarta
- Free worldwide shipping
The Rainforge Emberstone™ Raindrop Damascus Cleaver Knife combines a distinctive 512-layer patterned steel blade with a durable brown Micarta handle and traditional hand-forged construction.
Featuring a 6.5-inch blade and measuring 11.5 inches overall, this handmade cleaver offers a broad cutting profile for kitchen food preparation, including chopping vegetables, slicing boneless ingredients, and preparing herbs.
Its oil-quenched Damascus steel blade, steel-pinned Micarta handle, and included custom leather sheath make the Rainforge Emberstone™ a distinctive addition to the Woodsman Forge kitchen knife collection.
Hand-Forged 512-Layer Raindrop Damascus Blade
The defining feature of the Rainforge Emberstone™ is its 512-layer raindrop Damascus steel pattern.
The blade is described by the supplier as 1095 carbon steel Damascus, with an oil-quenched heat treatment. Its raindrop pattern creates rounded, flowing shapes across the steel surface, distinguishing it from traditional twist-pattern Damascus blades.
The 6.5-inch blade provides a practical cutting length for everyday kitchen tasks. Exact Rockwell hardness and the complete steel alloy combination have not been specified.
For a comparison of common blade materials, read the Woodsman Forge Guide to 1095, D2 and Damascus Steel.
Brown Micarta Handle with Steel Pins
The knife features a 5-inch brown Micarta handle, secured with steel pins.
Micarta is a layered composite material commonly selected for knife handles because of its durability and resistance to moisture. Its textured appearance complements the distinctive Damascus pattern.
The brown finish gives this model a more understated appearance than brightly colored wood or resin handles.

Cleaver-Style Blade for Kitchen Preparation
The Rainforge Emberstone™ has a broad cleaver-style profile intended for general kitchen cutting tasks.
It can be used for chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, and slicing boneless ingredients on an appropriate cutting board.
The knife should not be treated as a heavy-duty bone cleaver unless its suitability for that task has been independently confirmed.
Customers looking for a different Damascus pattern can compare this model with the Twistwood Forge™ 512-Layer Damascus Cleaver Knife, which features a 6-inch twist-pattern blade and natural rosewood handle.
Custom Leather Sheath Included
A custom-made leather sheath is included with the Rainforge Emberstone™.
The sheath provides protective coverage for the blade during handling and transportation.
Always clean and thoroughly dry the blade before using the sheath. For extended storage, a dry knife storage environment is preferable because leather can retain moisture.
Care and Maintenance
Hand-wash the knife with mild soap and water after food preparation, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth.
Because the blade contains carbon steel, apply a thin layer of food-safe protective oil when needed to help prevent corrosion.
Avoid dishwashers, prolonged soaking, abrasive cleaners, and cutting frozen foods or hard bones.
Clean the brown Micarta handle with a damp cloth and mild soap, and dry it after cleaning.
