Gladiator Series
Meat Cleaver 9" with Stand

The Obliterator is designed for heavy-duty tasks, making it the ultimate cleaver for butchery, BBQ, and kitchen use. Its thick blade and heavy weight deliver unparalleled chopping power, allowing you to handle large cuts of meat, bones, and tough vegetables with ease.

The Obliterator excels at heavy-duty chopping tasks, including breaking down large cuts of meat, splitting cartilage, and processing tough vegetables. Its robust design also makes it ideal for BBQ enthusiasts and professional butchers who require maximum chopping power.

7CR17MOV-X stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness. It’s specifically chosen for the Obliterator as it can be forged into a thicker, more heavy-duty blade to ensure it withstands the rigors of high-impact chopping.

The Obliterator weighs 2.9 lbs, giving it the heft needed to power through dense meats, bones, and hard vegetables with minimal effort. The weight allows gravity to do much of the work, reducing strain on the user while maximizing chopping efficiency.

Yes, each Obliterator comes with a durable ABS sheath for safe storage and transport. Additionally, it includes a handcrafted display stand, allowing you to showcase this impressive cleaver as both a functional tool and a statement piece.

The blade cutout serves to improve balance by lightening the front-heavy design. This feature enhances control and maneuverability, making it easier to handle despite its substantial size and weight.

The Obliterator is meticulously sharpened to a razor-sharp edge using Dalstrong’s D3™ sharpening process. This ensures it delivers exceptional cutting performance right out of the box, capable of cleanly slicing through tough materials with ease.

Dalstrong D3™ (Diamond Detailing) Sharpening is a multi-stage process that grinds, polishes, and hones the blade to achieve extreme sharpness. This advanced technique ensures the Obliterator maintains a razor-sharp edge for longer periods, even under heavy use.

The LionShield™ treatment is an advanced thermal and cryogenic process that strengthens the blade’s microstructure. This enhances hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, ensuring the Obliterator remains reliable and durable through years of demanding use.

To maintain the Obliterator’s performance and longevity, hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly before storing it in the provided leather sheath. Regularly hone the blade to maintain its sharpness, and avoid using abrasive scrubbers to protect the blade finish.

The Obliterator is backed by Dalstrong’s lifetime warranty against defects and a 70-day money-back guarantee. This ensures peace of mind with your purchase, knowing that Dalstrong stands behind the quality of their products.
