Conflict Cleaver | M48 – heavy-duty cleaver blade for outdoor and tactical applications

This cleaver-style fixed blade combines a broad 2Cr13 stainless steel blade with black oxide finish. Measuring 28.57cm total length with a 15.87cm blade, the design features weight-reducing holes while maintaining structural integrity for heavy cutting tasks.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 2Cr13 stainless steel with a plain-edge configuration and Fleischerbeil (butcher cleaver) profile. Total weight is 0.76kg, reflecting its robust build. The black oxide coating provides additional corrosion resistance beyond the inherent properties of the stainless steel construction.

Application and use

Designed for outdoor and bushcraft applications, this cleaver excels at processing wood, heavy cutting tasks, and camp preparation. The broad blade geometry suits chopping and splitting operations. As a hunting knife category product, it serves field dressing and processing tasks where substantial cutting power is required.

Integration and compatibility

This fixed blade design includes a Vortec sheath for secure carry and storage. The karambit-style pommel ring provides retention options for various carry methods. No mechanical opening mechanism or additional mounting hardware is required for this standalone cutting tool.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 2Cr13 stainless steel requires minimal maintenance – clean and dry after use. The black oxide finish may show wear with intensive use but continues to protect the base material. Standard sharpening stones maintain the plain edge effectively.
