HENCKELS Forged Premio 6-inch Meat Cleaver, Black/Stainless Steel

Perfect. Just like what I expected,thanks

This knife holds an edge, is easy to sharpen when it needs it, and is durable. I use the broad blade to move the cut items into the pan. I used to use a separate scraper, but this saves time and cleanup.

Look, I know you can find way better knives, if you want to pay. I don't want to spend that much for a knife anyways. I have the cleavers from Asian markets around LA, originally sold at about $6, now at around $9. Those are just a sheet of stainless steel. You can sharpen it with stone, think about an hour work, with some skill. And it will be dull in two days. I don't want to pay for any of those anymore. When I took this out, it was not very sharp, but I honed it with a steel, one stroke each side, and it's sharp of touch! The whole forged knife set I have, I can't get a sharp feeling with the same hone steel for ten strokes. Now, after a month, this cleaver keeps the edge very well, I didn't hone it and it's been used daily. The handle is a bit longer to my like, compare to all the knives I have, and a bit too thin to my like, but I think over time, I'll get used to it. I mainly use it as a vegetable cleaver. Although this is named as a meat cleaver, it's on the thin side, I have a meat cleaver, which is at least double the thickness, so I feel confident to use that to chop through bones, this one, I won't try. But to cut vegetable and slice meat, this is perfect. And I like the width of this cleaver, makes it more like a traditional Chinese kitchen one fit all knife. I don't need a whole block set, but this one along for the raw one, and maybe another for cooked. I should have bought 4 for the 4 for 3, but I bought one first to try it out. I'll find some friends next time and go for lower price with promotion.

This is a beautiful knife, but I is listed on the product page as a 6" knife, and it is definitely a 7" knife! The blade measures 7" x 3" so if this won't fit in your drawer or your block you need to order the smaller one.

I was a little wary about the size of this axe. I laughed when I opened the box to see the size and thinking about that movie the shinning....I couldn't find this match for my set in any stores to even know if it was large enough, but, it matches the set in every way: quality, sharpness, weight, size, handling, and so forth. I have a pretty well equipped kitchen after 28 years, so, this is one of my latter purchases and I am very pleased with the quality.

An amazing knife, great heft, easy to handle. Because of the size of the blade, it doesn't wobble when bearing down on larger pieces. Used it to cut melons, and it sliced through easily. Very happy with purchase.

I just recently bought a 19 piece Zwilling Knife Block Set, so I wanted a cleaver to accompany the set. The cleaver serves its purpose and performs well. Sharp as a tack. My only regret is that as far as I am concerned, Zwilling stands for German craftsmanship and I am HIGHLY disappointed that the cleaver is made in China, but says German Stainless Steel. Why the hell couldn't it be made in Germany rather than covid land?

I have almost all the knives in this particular set, I love them all as all of them are used uniquely in my kitchen but this knife, I used to have to also use a dough scrapper to pick up diced veggies like onions, etc...to get them to the pan quickly. And this knife is so sharp, very sturdy. The handle feels really good in my hand. I highly recommend it.

Little bigger than what I wanted, and it is good quality, sharp. The only problem I had was with the shipment Canada Post kept it its center for over a week for over a week prior to me getting it.

Good knife I little on the lighter side than I wanted

Not the best to chop veggies. If you want to use it for cutting quickly and for precision that's not the best choice
