Great value chinese cleaver

Good edge. Good grip for large hands can't say how it is for othera. Large enough to be efficient without feeling too big. I would buy again. Have not sharpened it yet, so I can't say how it is to work on.

Excellent cleaver

I have used some kind of cleaver during all of my 35+ years of cooking. I bought this product to replace an aging everyday cleaver which means it does every kind of cutting in the kitchen except cutting through bones. This product is amazing. It's exceedingly sharp, slices oranges without losing any junce. It's capable of slicing paper-thin meats required fire-pots (chicken, beef, pork). I am being very careful when I use it because I don't want to unintentionally slice off bits of my fingernail! One precaution about storage: Whereas I used to 'air-dry' my old cleaver and leave it in the drying rack, I find it best to wipe this one dry and store it if I want to retain the super-sharpness. Overall, an excellent product!

I'll admit that I didn't need this: my knife block has standard sized chef's knives. At this point, I'll use it whenever I can: quarter squash, scoop up fine diced veg, and even break down chickens. Wouldn't risk it on beef or anything more substantial, but it's so convenient. The handle is thick, but it stays grippy even if it gets wet. Sharpens up nicely, but it's not a premium steel. Blade guard is required, but easy enough to find.
