Good product for the price. Will recommend.

This knife is ideal for chopping both vegetables and meat, making it perfectly suited for East Asian cooking styles. If the price feels right to you, don’t hesitate—highly recommended!The only minor issue is that the handle became slightly loose after a year of regular use; however, overall, it remains a great value.

I ordered this Chinese cleaver because I wanted a one-piece cleaver. Lighter knives can have riveted handles, but I wasn't confident buying something this heavy that might separate from the handle. I was definitely not disappointed. This cleaver is heavy, so I have to handle it carefully. I find that I can use it to slice thinly while resting the wide blade against my knuckles, but I can also use it to cut through produce parts destined for the compost bin. I had a bunch of corn cobs recently from an overwhelming desire for fresh corn-on-the-cob, and I used the cleaver to chop the cobs for the compost bin. When I relaxed and just let the cleaver do its job, the cobs were demolished and ready for the bin in no time. The Chinese cleaver is a tool that you must practice with and learn how to use, but I am so glad to now have a reliable one in my kitchen. I'm taking classes from a Chinese chef, and he has encouraged me to get one and work with it. Now I am so glad that I bought this product. This one is heavy, but I feel it is safer that lighter cleavers that have riveted handles. Highly recommended.

Disclosure: Both knives I bought from this company with my own money so this is an honest overview of what I think so far….After purchasing the 8” cleaver from this company…I was definitely impressed with the value to cost ratio and how much of a veggie slicing beast the thing was…to the point that I ordered this knife as well… It did not disappoint.This knife has a Nice edge outta the box…The blade has a nice useable profile to facilitate all styles of cutting, whether you like push/pull cuts, chopping or rocking style. I prep a lot of veggies and boneless meat and this knife works great for either.I use these knifes daily in my home kitchen and the factory edge, although slightly more coarse, is holding up well after 3-4+ months of use with just a minor touch up on a honing rod here or there.Both of these knives have a solid construction and are built solid but simple. The blade has got good weight without being too heavy…It has a nice brushed finish that doesn’t show scratches..The handle has a good feel and has a nice classic look to it…Lil mineral oil on the handle every now and again to keep it hydrated and these will probably last a long time. …The blade has a stainless cladding layer which makes it very rust resistant..that being said… you should always hand wash and dry kitchen knives that you want to last.If you’re on the fence about one of these…Don’t Hesitate and purchase this knife and the 8” or 9” cleaver too..Solid kitchen tools.

Decent knife, all the reviews talking about how heavy it is are spot on. I bought it just to see and the weight combined with the design of the handle make it not very comfortable to use.
