Buy 8" Chinese Cleaver with Wood Handle

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Cleaver is in between a big heavy cleaver and a thin slicing cleaver. I once had a Japanese slicing cleaver that was light and thin and nimble. This looked like it in the pic but when it arrived it was somewhat thicker and heavier. Though it is stout, it is fairly thin and easy to wield. It arrived very sharp. It appears to be nicely made. It feels good in the hand and handles tasks with authority. It works well on the cutting board. It can take on tasks like slicing vegetables, chopping up assorted foods, mincing, and cutting. It's sharp enough for thin slicing and heavy enough to go through tougher thicker slices quickly and easily. I think you could use it to cut up a chicken, dice up some onions, and slice tomatoes. It's a clean, balanced, sharp all-around kitchen knife, and the cleaver blade makes it nice for scooping up cut-up vegetables etc. It's a much better chef's cleaver than the stuff hanging off the racks in the chain stores like walmart etc. It has a well-crafted authentic feel in how it was manufactured, and that is satisfying.
