Silvercrest Timberline™ J2 Steel Mirror Polish Cleaver – Wood Handle

The Silvercrest Timberline™ J2 Steel Mirror Polish Cleaver combines a broad, reflective steel blade with a traditional wooden handle and detailed brass accents. Designed for general kitchen food preparation, this handmade cleaver offers a practical cutting profile with a distinctive polished finish.

Measuring 11.8 inches overall, the knife features a 6.8-inch J2 steel blade, 3.2-inch blade width, and 5-inch natural wood handle with brass spacers and pins.

An engraved leather sheath is included for protective blade coverage during handling and storage.

Mirror-Polished J2 Steel Blade

The Silvercrest Timberline™ features a J2 steel blade with a mirror-polished finish, creating a smooth, reflective appearance.

Unlike pattern-welded Damascus steel, this knife uses a plain J2 steel blade without decorative Damascus layering.

The 6.8-inch blade length provides useful cutting reach for everyday kitchen tasks, while its 3.2-inch width gives it the broad profile associated with traditional kitchen cleavers.

The mirror polish enhances the blade's visual appearance, although cutting performance depends on the edge geometry, sharpening, heat treatment, and proper maintenance.

The supplier does not specify an exact hardness rating or blade thickness for this model.

Natural Wood Handle with Brass Spacers

The 5-inch natural wood handle gives the Silvercrest Timberline™ a traditional handcrafted appearance.

Brass spacers and pins add distinctive visual details, complementing the clean mirror-polished blade.

The wooden handle provides room for a full-hand grip during ordinary food preparation.

Because the wood is a natural material, individual handles may vary slightly in grain and colour.

Keep the handle dry after washing and avoid prolonged soaking.

Broad Kitchen Cleaver for Food Preparation

With its 6.8-inch blade and 3.2-inch width, the Silvercrest Timberline™ is suited to general food preparation on an appropriate cutting board.

Its broad blade can be used for tasks such as:

1. Chopping vegetables and leafy greens
2. Preparing fresh herbs
3. Slicing boneless meats
4. Cutting ingredients for everyday meals
5. General kitchen cutting and food preparation

The manufacturer does not provide a specific hard-bone chopping rating. Avoid chopping hard bones or frozen foods unless the blade's suitability has been confirmed.

Handmade 11.8-Inch Cleaver Design

The Silvercrest Timberline™ measures 11.8 inches overall, offering a substantial kitchen knife profile without the longer proportions of some oversized cleavers.

Its reflective blade finish, natural wood handle, and brass detailing give it a traditional yet refined appearance.

For customers interested in a patterned steel blade rather than a mirror-polished finish, discover the Timberfall Forgecrest™ Damascus Cleaver Knife.

Engraved Leather Sheath Included

An engraved leather sheath is included with the Silvercrest Timberline™.

The sheath provides protective blade coverage when the knife is not in use and helps reduce accidental contact with the cutting edge during handling.

The engraved design complements the knife's traditional handcrafted appearance.

Always clean and dry the blade before placing it inside the sheath.

For extended storage, keep the knife in a clean, dry environment rather than leaving it in leather that may retain moisture.
