Sold OutReally like this knife, the sharpness is fantastic and it feels very well made. My only minor thing is the handle shape took a day or two to get used to, it's a bit more squared off than my other knives. But now I don't even notice it. Definitely recommend.
I was looking for a good all-purpose cleaver and this is it. Used it on some beef ribs and it went through the bone like butter. Handle shape fits my hand perfectly.
Brilliant knife, exactly what I needed. Lovely edge on it. Makes quick work of onions and I used it to break down a pork shoulder last weekend. Massive upgrade from the cheap department store cleaver I had before.
Got this for my husband who's been wanting a proper cleaver for ages. He loves it. He says the weight is perfect for getting through bones and the blade is super thin for slicing veggies too. Came in a nice box which made it feel like a real gift.
Got this to replace my old cheap cleaver and wow what a difference. The weight is perfect, feels solid in the hand and just glides through chicken bones. Handle is really comfortable too.
Perfect size for my kitchen. Not too big, gets the job done. The blade is thin enough for slicing veggies but has the heft for poultry. Very versatile.
I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for quality.
This knife is sharp, sturdy, and a pleasure to use.
I've been using this knife daily, and it's held up incredibly well.
An impressive knife that has enhanced my cooking experience.
I’ve been using this knife for a couple of months now, and it has consistently delivered clean, precise cuts. The balance of the knife is just right, making it feel natural in hand. The blade is sharp, though I noticed it requires more frequent sharpening than I expected. The craftsmanship is evident, but the handle could be slightly more comfortable for extended use. Despite this, it’s a reliable tool that has improved my cooking experience.

The blade is precise and handles a variety of tasks with ease, though it does require frequent sharpening to maintain its edge.

This knife is exactly what I needed. It’s sharp, well-made, and handles a variety of tasks with ease. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need regular sharpening to maintain its performance.
