The Verdant Reaper – Hand-Forged Carbon Steel Cleaver by Shard Blade

Born from steel. Tempered in chaos. Styled for legends.

The Verdant Reaper isn’t just a cleaver — it’s a battle-born chef’s blade with soul. Hand-forged from high carbon steel and finished with a sinister edge, this bloodline-inspired cleaver is the ultimate tool for those who demand raw power and refined elegance in the kitchen, the wild, or the pit.

At the heart of the Reaper lies a wide, aggressive blade designed to dominate everything from dense bone to delicate herbs. Its bold geometry makes it perfect for butchering meat, chopping vegetables, or prepping game in the field — a true cleaver forged for action.

The handle? A deep, hypnotic green-and-black resin, polished smooth to reveal its stormy beauty. Ergonomically contoured for control and grip, it offers comfort with commanding presence. The knife is perfectly balanced for daily chefs, BBQ warriors, and collectors alike.

Protected by a hand-stitched black leather sheath, The Verdant Reaper is a bold testament to Shard Blade’s commitment to power, precision, and purpose.

Quick Care Card

Damascus Steel Knife Care & Maintenance

Your Shard Blades Damascus steel blade is more than just a culinary or gift piece—it’s a finely crafted tool built for performance, beauty, and longevity. Damascus steel’s high carbon content gives it an exceptional, long-lasting edge, but this same quality makes it more sensitive to moisture. With the right care, your knife will serve you for decades while preserving its striking patterns and flawless performance.

Daily Care
• Wash immediately after use – Hand wash your knife in warm water with a mild dish soap.
• Dry completely – Use a soft, clean towel to remove all moisture.
• Oil for protection – Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil before storage to prevent oxidation. Mineral oil is ideal because it’s affordable, safe, and doesn’t spoil. If unavailable, cooking oil can work temporarily, though it’s not recommended for long-term storage.

If Rust Appears – Don’t Panic

Fresh Damascus steel can develop small rust spots quickly, sometimes in minutes, especially in humid conditions. This is natural and easily fixed:
1. Rub the affected area gently with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
2. Wash with warm, soapy water.
3. Hand dry thoroughly.
4. Apply a protective coat of oil.

Over time, your blade will develop a natural patina, giving it greater resilience against moisture.

Storage Tips
• Store in a dry location away from humidity.
• Avoid long-term storage inside leather sheaths or rolls, as leather retains moisture. If necessary, apply a heavier coat of oil first.
• Keep out of reach of children.
