Heavy duty meat clever

Wow! This is one heavy duty clever!!! Totally beefy. Not to be used as a general purpose kitchen knife like some Asian style clevers. This is for one purpose............chopping/de-boning meat!!!

This Thing is a Beast of a Cleaver

This is a beast of a cleaver. High quality forged steel, triple riveted, full tang, hardwood handles. I got the 7" cleaver and its still enormous. I considered the 9" but getting this thing in the mail, I'm glad I went with the 7" version. The only way I think I'd need anything larger is if I picked up working in a meat packaging plant as a side job.

Perfect weight and performance but read how to care for it

This is a fantastic cleaver for people who want to do basics like chickens and the like. This cleaver is heavy and feels like it could last generations WHEN taken care of properly. This cleaver requires immediate cleaning and drying after using it! Don’t let it sit around with water on it or it will rust. Take care of this and it should last you a lifetime.

Chop Chop Chop

Exactly what I look for in Quality and Durability. I used Dexter Russell products when I was working in the grocery store meat departments during my college days. Can't go wrong with adding Dexter Russell Knife to my Kitchen at home.

Don't ruin your good chef's knife -- use this to hack and chop and intimidate

Weighs exactly 10000 pounds. The edge was all out of sorts when I got it; you may also need to tune it up with a sturdy honing steel or even sharpen it with a whetstone. Looks out of proportion in photos but is great in real life. Probably the biggest, gnarliest thing in your knife collection unless you have 14" Scimitars or something. Buy this if you have a $100 Shun Classic or a $200 Misono and you don't want to ruin the blade of your fancy chef's knife hacking through bones or pumpkins. This isn't a Chinese-style all-purpose knife. This is a big ass meat cleaver for butchering meat and persistent gourds.

American Quality!

Loved the fact that this is American Made! Heavy duty stainless steel...

Best quality for your money

We love this brand great quality.

Heavy Duty

Heavey duty but will rust.

Perfect! awesome feel to the cleaver

Perfect! awesome feel to the cleaver, chops effortlessly. I would not expect this cleaver to be as sharp as a sushi knife. This is a blunt instrument meant for rough cutting. Takes a little effort to keep it from rusting. Looks good too!

Awesome cleaver for a very affordable price

Awesome cleaver for a very affordable price. The original factory machine work is a little coarse. The factory edge is a coarse grind and had a large burr. I used my Wicked Edge sharpening system to put on a nice edge. Now it really performs. The carbon steel used in the cleaver is tempered to be very hard and tough. Took quite awhile to grind the desired edge. Once you finally get a good edge on it, this is one brutally tough cleaver. Smashes right through large beef, pork, and turkey bones with ease. Doesn't phase the sharpening job. The heavy coarse carbon steel doesn't take a real fine edge for fine carving chores, but still slices very well. Since it is carbon steel, you need to keep it washed and dry to prevent rust. If you want one tough cleaver that is designed to cut through most anything, this is the one to buy.
