Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Gratifyingly heavyweight--as a cleaver should be--this 6-1/2-inch kitchen tool leverages its heft to easily cut through bones and other tough foods--ideal for use in preparing stocks. The molded, synthetic handle fits comfortably in hand and gives the knife a clean, contemporary look. Constructed of high-carbon stain-resistant German steel--although of lesser quality that Henckels’s premiere lines--this reliable Henckels International blade offers an affordable alternative for cost-conscious home chefs. Measuring 3 by 11 inches overall, the knife is dishwasher-safe--though hand washing is always recommended to preserve the cutting edge. Product is backed by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Amy Arnold

I just received this cleaver and I like the way it feels in my hand. It cuts clean and the cleaver is well made. I am not an expert but I know what I like. I recommend this cleaver highly and I give it thumbs up!

We've had this cleaver for a few years now. It is made in China, with German stainless steel. Stamped, not forged. It works well for for veggies. But the Amazon description is incorrect when it comes to chopping through bones. This cleaver is NOT designed for bones.
