Bold, balanced, and beautifully hammered. Noah is the versatile kiri cleaver that slices big and small with rhythm and style.

Noah is more than just a cleaver, it's the smart tool you never knew you needed. With an 18 cm blade that blends a broad cleaver base and a sharp, pointed tip, it’s designed for chopping, mincing, slicing, and handling larger veggies like cabbage or pumpkin. It's still nimble enough for detail tasks like garlic, ginger, or onion prep.
Inspired by traditional Chinese kiri cleavers, Noah gets a modern twist. The finely pointed tip adds flexibility and control. The bold rocker edge helps you work rhythmically and efficiently.
Each Noah features our stunning beaten carbon-steel finish and custom-designed handle. That hammered texture isn’t just for show, it’s a labour-intensive process that highlights real craftsmanship and gives each knife unique character. 
Whether you’re tackling meal prep or powering through a big BBQ prep session, Noah brings balance, power, and beauty to every chop.

This cleaver is not made for cutting through bones or frozen meat and must not be used on them.

Steel Details

Made with high-carbon steel, heat-treated for a hard, sharp edge. Builds character over time and rewards simple care with a knife that keeps getting better.

About Our Hammered Knives

Every Blade Is Unique

One strike at a time, by hand. Which is why the pattern on your blade exists exactly once, and catches the light differently to every other knife we've made.

Those dimples earn their place too. They break the suction between the steel and whatever you're cutting, so potato and cucumber fall away instead of stacking up on the blade.

Carbon steel doesn't sit still. Blues and browns come up across the hammered face over the first few months as the patina builds. Most knives look their best on the shelf. These look their best after a year in your kitchen.

How Each Knife Is Crafted

Forged Carbon Steel

Every knife starts as a bar of high carbon steel, its roughly shaped then heated in a coal forge and shaped under a power hammer by hand. No CNC, no laser cutting. Each blade is forged individually.

Heat-Treated for Performance

Each blade is differentially heat-treated to bring out the best in the steel. The edge is hardened for sharpness and retention, while the spine stays softer so it flexes under pressure instead of snapping.

Handcrafted Handle

Each handle is carved from black ebony, a dense, tight-grained wood that works back to a near-black finish. A brass bolster sits between blade and handle, adding weight up front and balance in the hand. Hand planed smooth, sealed with shellac, and glued to the tang as one solid piece.

Sharpened by Hand

Every blade is hand-ground to form the edge, then refined on a whetstone for a polished, clean cut. Ready to use straight out of the box.

I have never before knifed like this knife knifes

Oh wow, I didn't expect to love this knife as much as I do, having mainly used a santoku up until now, but stirfry prep with this beauty is a genuine joy and chopping hard vegetables like carrots and kumara is super easy and smooth. New favourite knife? Love it.

Intimidating but absolutely awesome knife.

The Noah is an intimidating but absolutely awesome knife. It caught my eye from the start, and even though this is my first time buying or using a knife of this style and size, I’ve been seriously impressed.

Some of my other Cain and Able knives have blades that feel a bit thin for my liking—but that’s definitely not the case here. The Noah has great weight and presence. It does take a slightly different cutting rhythm to get used to, but you find the knack pretty quickly. Once you do, it’s a dream to use. There's plenty of blade to rest against your knuckles, which really helps prevent any accidental cuts.

If you’re after a bold, standout knife that performs as well as it looks, this is it.

Common Questions

What Is Carbon Steel?

Carbon steel is a type of metal made mostly from iron and a small amount of carbon. That carbon makes the steel harder, which means it can be sharpened to a very fine edge and stay sharp for longer. It's not stainless, so it can rust if left wet. With simple care, it lasts a long time and cuts really well. That’s why carbon steel is often used in high-quality knives.

Santoku vs Chef's Knife? What's The Difference?

A Santoku is shorter with a flatter edge. Built for chopping and push-cutting. A chef's knife is longer with a curved belly, made for a rocking motion.

How Do I Care For It?

Hand wash, dry straight away, don't put it in the dishwasher. If you're not using it for a while, a light coat of oil keeps it happy. More Here

Where is it made?

Like all our knives, it's hand crafted in Vietnam by a skilled blacksmith.We documented the full process here.

What's The Dark Finish On The Blade?

It's forge scale and its called a kurouchi finish in traditional knife making. A natural layer that forms when the blade is heated during heat treatment. It's not a coating, it won't chip off, and it helps reduce food sticking to the blade.

What Type Of Wood Is The Handle?

Padauk. Padauk is a strong hardwood known for its rich colour and toughness. It has a natural reddish tone that darkens beautifully over time. Because it’s dense and durable, Padauk makes a great knife handle. It holds up to everyday use, feels solid in your hand, and looks better the more you use it. It’s a mix of strength, beauty, and comfort.

Our 2-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes rust or damage from neglect. Claims are inspected case-by-case, and replacements are issued if the product is genuinely faulty.
