Rust Prevention – Easy Maintenance Tips

  • Not Dishwasher Safe: Never put your knife in the dishwasher – always hand-wash.
  • Rinse After Each Use: Wash with fresh water after using, especially if exposed to salt, moisture, or acidic foods.
  • Dry Immediately: Wipe your knife dry right away—never leave it to air dry.
  • Oil After Each Use: Apply a light coat of food-safe oil to prevent rust. Suitable options include mineral oil, camellia oil, beeswax-based knife oils, or food-grade coconut oil. Avoid olive or vegetable oils as they can turn rancid.
  • Store Properly: Keep in a dry place, away from humidity.

Sharpening

Any knife edge can become blunt over time and with each use. We recommend that you sharpen your knife's blade as required.

The blade can be sharpened using any standard sharpening equipment, including a wet stone, rods, etc.

Sharpening at a 15-degree angle, on each side.

Customer photo review of VleisByl (Hammer Forged Butchers Axe)

I don't normally leave product reviews, but this one absolutely deserves it. I ordered the 3-pack of the VleisByl butcher's axes, planning to keep one for myself and give the other two as gifts. The moment I opened the box I knew I'd made the right choice. The craftsmanship is exceptional. The axe has a solid, premium feel, the ebony handle is beautifully finished, and the genuine leather sheath completes the package perfectly. You can immediately tell this isn't a cheap mass-produced tool—it's built to last. The full-tang, hammer-forged construction and premium materials really stand out. The blade arrived razor sharp, and after using it I can already tell it's going to hold its edge for a very long time. It cuts cleanly and feels perfectly balanced in the hand, making meat preparation effortless. The two friends I gifted the other axes to were just as impressed as I was. Both commented on the outstanding quality and couldn't believe how well it was made. It's one of those gifts that genuinely surprises people when they hold it for the first time. If you're looking for a butcher's axe that combines exceptional build quality, great balance, long-lasting sharpness, and looks fantastic on the braai table, I can highly recommend the VleisByl. It exceeded my expectations in every way and is worth every cent.

The steel is hard that the jeweller cried when he tried to engrave the names of the lucky recipients on them . Sharp as my ex wife’s tongue but 10 times more useful . Love it 😻

VleisByl (Hammer Forged Butchers Axe)

The best decision I made in a long time. Very handy and all-purpose "tool" for about anything you want to do. It was very handy during my hunting trip. Thank you very much.

The excellent craftsmanship and quality is awesome. And you would expect to pay much more for such a product. The attention to detail is awesome.And the service that I got was top notch as usual. Would definitely recommend buying any product from BraaiPlank. Thank You

VleisByl (Hammer Forged Butchers Axe)

Bought as a gift for my mom's fiance, I thought this one looked way more badass than the more well known brand made ones.

VleisByl (Hammer Forged Butchers Axe)

Strong, sharp, and perfectly balanced. The full-tang handle feels sturdy and comfortable, and it chops effortlessly. The sheath is a nice bonus for safe storage.
