Astounding Cleaver

Savernake Knives

£330

18cm Fusion Cleaver Why choose this knife All the fun of a cooking cleaver without the learning curve: deep enough for serious root vegetables, good enough knuckle clearance for fast prep work, and with enough rock to handle more than you would expect from a blade this shape. Dimensions Blade 17.5cm. Overall 30cm. Depth 6.9cm. Weight 232g. The Story We love the Chinese cleaver as a concept. What we are less keen on is the significant learning curve it tends to impose before it becomes useful. The Astounding Cleaver is our answer to that: all the fun, most of the capability, and none of the six

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as Savernake Knives Limited, number 10826561. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "our workshop is a converted 1854 sawmill in Wiltshire" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
