Custom Handmade Rasp Nakiri Cleaver Knife | Red Pinecone & Resin Handle
Elevate your culinary prep or outdoor camp kitchen with a blade that is as visually striking as it is functional. Handcrafted proudly in the USA by Ark Knives, this custom Nakiri cleaver is born from an upcycled high-carbon steel rasp, transforming rugged, forgotten tools into functional works of art.
Whether you are dicing vegetables with precision or looking for the ultimate unique gift for the chef, outdoorsman, or knife collector in your life, this heavy-duty utility knife delivers unparalleled performance and style.
The Blade
Expertly forged and ground from a repurposed steel file, the blade retains the brutalist, textured "teeth" of the original rasp along the spine. This rugged texture contrasts beautifully with the razor-sharp, polished cutting edge. The Nakiri-style flat profile is perfect for aggressive chopping, slicing, and everyday utility tasks.
The Handle
A true showstopper. The handle features natural pinecone scales suspended in vibrant, translucent red epoxy resin. The intricate, organic patterns of the pinecone catch the light perfectly, ensuring no two knives are exactly alike. It is securely fastened with durable brass pins and finished with a convenient lanyard hole.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon steel and natural handle materials:
Hand wash only with warm, soapy water. Never put this knife in the dishwasher.
Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust.
Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or knife wax to the blade after use to protect the carbon steel.
Note: Because each knife is completely handmade using natural pinecone and upcycled files, slight variations in the rasp texture, resin color, and pinecone pattern are to be expected, making your knife truly one-of-a-kind!
