Two cleavers, one forge
Same steel, same hand forging. The Original is the one from the videos. The 2.0 is bigger and heavier for thick cuts, and comes in a collector's box.
Both hand forged by The Cooking Guild. Both ship free in the US over $99.

Straight answers
Steven from the warehouse floor. These are the ones that land in my inbox most.
Yes. The leather sheath is cut for the Original cleaver, with a belt loop and a snap. Add it with the toggle above the Add to cart button, or get the pair together as the Wild Essentials Bundle and save.
Not if you treat it like a knife and not like a spoon. It is German 1.4116 stainless steel, the same family of steel used in most professional kitchen knives. Rinse it, dry it, put it away. Leave it wet in the sink overnight and any blade on earth will spot. Dry it and it will outlast every other knife in the drawer.
Yes. It comes sharp out of the box and holds that edge through real cooking. When it finally needs a touch up, any whetstone or pull-through sharpener works, the same as any stainless kitchen knife. No special gear.
Yes. The Original is the exact cleaver the lads have used in every Men With The Pot video since the shed days. The 2.0 is the bigger, heavier evolution of it, forged in the same place by the same people.
Cook with it for 99 days. If it is not the knife for you, send it back and we refund you. No questions, no restocking fee, no forms to fill in. Write to support@thecookingguild.com and we sort it.
Any manufacturing defect, for life. A handle that loosens, a blade that chips under normal use, a fault in the forging. It does not cover a cleaver that has gone through a dishwasher or been used as an axe, but if something is wrong with how it was made, we replace it.
