The shape of the blade spine and handle scale in the Maar Cleaver Flipper knife is a nod to its namesake, the volcanic crater-like maar landform produced by Mother Nature’s intense heat and strength. Also, the black oxide coating on this blade enhances the corrosion resistance while the stonewash finish provides a matte look that hides all of the scratches that you are going to accrue while deploying it.

The MAAR™ knife epitomizes TRUE’s call to “Take a Firm Grip” by providing the every-day carry enthusiast with an assertive, bold and uncompromising design that succeeds where small, minimalist knives fall short. It is an oversized, yet pocketable knife that boasts heft, strength, and full grip ergonomics in a responsive, flipper design.
With an MSRP of $49.99, the Maar Cleaver is not overly expensive yet exudes value for the price point that it is offered at. Some of my favorite knives are small ones that can serve the triple threat of chopping, using leverage to push through thick cuts, and delicate enough to be precise with them. This knife fits that bill in all aspects. As always, let us know all of your thoughts about TRUE’s Maar Cleaver in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
