Starrett Professional Stainless Steel Chefs Kitchen Cleaver Knives - Wide Rectangular Profile - 8-inch (200mm) - Yellow Handle

Very happy, good non slip grip, sharp and dishwasher safe

An almost scary sharp cleaver with Hultafors/Morakniv plastic handle quality as well as fantastic metal work. Quite the bargain!

This is a solid cleaver that could probably take some punishment, but not so heavy as to be cumbersome. The edge profile is slightly rounded which makes it forgiving to use.The stainless steel seems like good quality with a satisfying ring when flicked. The tang appears to extend well into the handle (judging by the balance). The other edges such as the spine are quite sharp, which is to be expected given the price, but could easily be sanded smooth if necessary.The only drawback is the shape of the blade. Looking along the front of the blade from the spine towards the cutting edge reveals the blade's taper. It is completely flat on the right side, until the double-bevelled cutting edge. The left side however is parallel for the top 2/3rds of the knife, then has a round primary bevel that tapers towards the cutting edge. This means that the knife will cut straight down for a left-handed person, but for right handed people Iike myself, the blade has a tendency to track rightward as the cut follows the shape of the primary bevel. Not an issue with flat things like herbs, but becomes an issue for denser and more 3D foods like onion. I am not a professional chef however so I am not sure how it would handle with superior knife skills.Overall amazing for the price, but for the day to day I have returned to using my weird second-hand santoku.

Best for cutting chunks of meat
