A Damascus Cleaver Hatchet handles what happens after the hunt. Wood and bone fail in completely different ways. An axe wedges timber apart by following the grain. Bone has no grain at all, and it shatters rather than splits. A cleaver solves that problem with real mass behind a broad edge.

The rounded profile also rocks nicely through camp vegetables. Choke into the notch for skinning and detail work. Bone and joint dull steel faster than wood does. Touch the edge up on a fine stone regularly. Wash and dry the blade promptly after any food contact. A light food-safe oil protects the grain from rust.
