Works well. Not too heavy, sharp.

A Chinese cleaver is the most useful item I use when I am allowed to use the kitchen. It makes cutting, slicing, chopping easy and the broad front is good to stir things in a pan. I put the broad blade over garlic cloves, pound them with my fist to crush them and then chop them up fine. Combine them with chopped parsley and butter, use the cleaver to cut the backs of lobster tails, pounding the back of the cleaver with your palm to split it, fluff out the meat so it’ll come out easily, stick it in the oven for 25 minutes and you’re done. Voila. A gourmet meal. My cleaver of choice cost me $5 at a garage sale ten years ago. Wooden handle is cracked, blade covered with rust. I explained to my domestic goddess that the rust just meant it’s good carbon steel. She wanted a new stainless steel cleaver. She didn’t want such a rusty relic in her kitchen and was of the opinion I am trying to poison her. She thinks I am a culinary criminal. Guess who won that argument. So I looked at the selection on Amazon and bought this. Full tang is important for safety. That means the metal from the blade goes all the way through the handle so it doesn’t go flying off. Stainless steel, won’t rust, which is important to 50% of my domestic population. And price. Ten bucks. I figured any cleaver I could get for a sawbuck would be awful. But this thing is really good. Sharp and beautifully made. Domestic tranquility for the Hamilton. Buy it.

This 7.4-inch, full-tang Meat Cleaver is a great knife and a true powerhouse in the kitchen. The 30Cr steel blade is ultra-sharp and handles heavy tasks with ease. I have fully enjoyed it, finding it effortless to cut through dense items like a pineapple or even meat bones. For the price, it delivers professional-grade chopping power. Key Safety and Usage Warning: This is not for regular use unless you are an experienced cook and know exactly what you are doing. Given its size and weight, it presents a serious safety risk. I am genuinely worried that it might fall on a leg, so extreme caution is necessary. It must be kept away from kids and stored securely. For serious cooks who need to break down large cuts of meat or dense vegetables, this cleaver is highly effective. Just remember that with great power comes the need for great responsibility—handle with care!

I was in the market for a meat clever for my 77 year old mother, who is very old school and enjoys taking a machete to a rack of ribs. We're latin what more can I say lol. I was drawn to this meat clever simply because of the 1. elegant flower design, i had my mother in mind. So i went ahead and made the purchase of this Meat Cleaver from TJPOP, 2. its roughly 7.4 Inches in length, which is a manageable size, 3. my clever arrived hair shaving sharp, which was definitely a surprise i really wasn't expecting it to be as sharp as it is at this price point, 4. its a full-tang but this has to be confirmed, and as a knife enthusiast, i have to touch on the 5. blade steel, which is 30Cr13 stainless steel, known for its good balance of hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, thanks to its chromium content (around 12-14%) and moderate carbon (around 0.26-0.35%). It's heat-treatable to achieve high hardness (up to 50+ HRC), making it excellent for cutlery (knives), aswel as tools, valves, springs, and industrial parts needing strength and moderate corrosion resistance, though it's less corrosion-resistant than higher-alloy grades like 304/316. Blade 6. Thickness comes in at 2.5 mm, which is very good, because 7. it has some heft to it but its not overly heavy to were you regret reaching for it when needed. My mom as i, have arthritis of the hands. So weight was definitely a factor when considering this clever. 8. Although, I would prefer a wooden handle, which i will probably make myself when the ABS handle fails or cracks, but the handle IMO is where this clever falls short, although it should be expected, thats where they skimpped on cost in order to provide a relatively 9. inexpensive clever that performs. The ABS plastic handle is ergonomically comfortable in my medium size hand, the handle is indeed hollow, i wish it was solid but once again, keep in mind what your paying for this clever. The handles on my clever appeared smudged (view pic) after wipping off with some windex, the blemish seams lighter but hasn't gone away. Mind you this isn't a deal breaker, consider it simply an esthetically displeasing annoyance because the finnish isnt 100%, but its just me, my OCD isn't getting any better the older I get lol. It really doesn't take away from the clever, it chops, cuts and slices through poultry, meat and veggies with ease. I doubt that you will be disappointed. Overall im pleasantly surprised by the value for money, the elegant flower design is a nice touch, the sharpness and how manageable this clever is to use make it very practical. The handle ergos does feel very comfortable in hand, its been my experience that a wooden handle would feel more substantial but would also increase the cost which make this a affordable, budget friendly clever. I would definitely make this purchase again. No doubts, I hope my review of this clever, from a humble handymans perspective will aid in your decision if you move forward with the purchase. I was not endorsed or paid for my review, just willing to help other conscious consumers. I gave it 4 stars because I can't attest to longevity.

Great knife, look at how much it weighs in my case i didn't look and it’s heavy

So far I’m impressed with the size sturdiness value for money compared to higher end cleavers. They don’t mention that you get a paring knife in the kit but it’s also sharp Ease of cleaning is simple by hand wash then immediately followed up with drying it with a towel. For longevity you must use food grade mineral oil for all knives so rust doesn’t pop up immediately and keep it at bay.

I bought this meat cleaver for my mother and she loves it. It has helped her a lot by making it easy to chop food and cut through bone with ease. The size is large enough for her to deal with and is is very durable. And since we have had it for more than 4 months there has been no rust issues and is still as sharp and accurate with the cut as it was the first day we bought it. And it is very much worth the money.

This was a great buy. Super sharp, made everything easy.

Very good quality

This is a heavy knife that works well and looks classy. I like the wooden handle and the etched blade. It is very sharp. VERY sharp, which I paid for during a moments inattention. It will be interesting to see if the blade holds up over time. The price is more than reasonable for a knife of this quality. I highly recommend.

It is well worth buying.

Sharp with good edge retention. Good weight. Perfect for veg prep

It is very good value for money. It's use can be extended to vegetables as well. Neat, sharp and easy to clean.
