Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The supersharp cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a topnotch cleaver. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust resistance, and durability, this knife effortlessly chops meat. Chopping with this knife is easy--no resistance whatsoever hampers the knife's controlled descent to the cutting board.
When it is finally time to sharpen the broad blade, worry not, for it lends itself well to both a sharpening stone and steel. Once you've achieved the edge you want, a few quick sweeps along a steel each time you use the knife should keep the edge in fine condition. The ergonomic polypropylene handle lies comfortably in your hand, fitting most any hand like a glove and facilitating strain-free use; the metal bolster acts as a finger-guard; and the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handle allows for dishwasher use. Finally! Still, the best way to care for this knife is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
TWIN® Five Star knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard.

Perfection In Cleavers,
By Vance Lizza (San Bernardino, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henckels Five Star High Carbon Stainless Steel Meat Cleaver (Kitchen)
The Henckels Five Star High Carbon Stainless Steel Meat Cleaver is the ultimate meat cleaver. It arrives razor sharp, and retains it magnificently. The balance is perfect, as is the fit. This is exceptional, especially considering its heft and intended purpose. It makes meat preparation an easily accomplished task. The quality is so evident, I have no qualms whatsoever about buying larger pieces and cutting them up for use in several different meals. Unlike other cleavers I have experienced, the Henckels will never shatter upon striking bone ! All in all, this is an exceptional piece of cutlery, and the finest cleaver available.

The best cleaver I have found.,
By Jim Krupnik "jkrupnik" (Watchung, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Henckels Five Star High Carbon Stainless Steel Meat Cleaver (Kitchen)
I own several Henckles and Wusthof knives, and enjoy the quality of all. My only complaint has been the price, but that has been addressed by companies like Calphalon. The cleaver has become more of a specialty item in recent years, and is only available from a few sources. After looking at the market, I chose the Henckles 5 star. I think I made the right choice. It is not really a large cleaver, but more along the lines of "just right". It is built to typical Henckles 5 star standards. A properly sized and weighted blade, beautiful finish, a comfortable handle that won't slip, and steel that takes abuse and holds an edge. It is also easy to true up after taking (or giving) a beating. It costs far too much, but it is the best cleaver available, and if you are a Henckles fan, you are used to the price anyway. If you want a proper cleaver, buy this one. The few others available that I have handled are either too small, have a lousy handle for the job, just don't "feel" right, or look like (well, you get the picture). Most people only want to buy one cleaver in their lifetime. Don't make a mistake. I'm all about the highest quality at the best price. Despite the high cost, I really don't think this cleaver has a peer. Buy a new hook for your pot hanger when you order this knife. It looks too good to hide in a drawer.

Heavy Metal Beauty!,
By Belladonna Le Femme (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henckels Five Star High Carbon Stainless Steel Meat Cleaver (Kitchen)
I absolutly love using this clever. It looks killer & works/feels even better. I really like the handles on the five star series. This clever is balanced perfect for me, it's somewhat blade heavy compared to the pro-s series which works out well for my chopping style. I like to use a comb. of wrist & forearm movement & let the weight of the blade do the work. This clever holds an edge very well & trues back up nice w/a henckels 12" diamond steel. This is the perfect clever for me & I'd definately replace if lost/stolen.
