Pleasantly surprised at what I received! I looked for flaws that had been mentioned in a few of the reviews, and found none! I love to cook, and these two knives should help make things go faster, and easier. I cannot comment on the edge durability as of yet, but will say they are both very sharp. I used the Kiritsuke to make short work of a large seedless watermelon the very next day. Quartered & sliced effortlessly. Used my filleting knife to lose the rinds for more compact packing, and easier eating. I own a set of Henkels, and find these comparable. I should get a good feel for the cleaver when I make my next batch of cat food. At this point, I would recommend buying them. There is a lot of marketing hype when it comes to knife brands, these are well priced, and the quality is there! I intend to buy a couple more. I will update if necessary. **UPDATE** I made 8 lbs of ground up chicken and Turkey cat food this morning. I put the frozen boneless thighs in a cooler yesterday for defrosting. Today they were about 40% defrosted. The cleaver cut through the somewhat frozen thighs and the defrosted meat like a razor. I cut it all into 1" pieces for the food processor. I was not chopping, but slicing thru everything. It was effortless!!!! Had it all cubed in 5 + minutes. I am getting to love these two knives! **Another Update** As a gift I ordered another of the heavier cleaver and the Kiritsuki for my brother and sister in law. They do a lot of entertaining, and food prep. My brother also makes his own jerky year round. They love these knives! A year later another gift of the boning and birds beak paring knives, also a big hit. I purchased my 1st ones over 2 years ago, and they get regular use. I insist on using sharp knives, as they are safer. I have sharpened mine maybe 3 times over the 2+ years. I also hand wash. All of them, including the gifted knives are holding up extremily well with minimal maintenence. I'm getting ready to order the steak knife set without hesitation. Review: Love It - Best knife ever. It's extremely sharp, a bit longer than anticipated. Beautiful packaging, great price. Highly recommend!!! ## Features - POWERFUL CLEAVER: Falcon meat cleaver is used for cutting hard bones, such as chicken bones, lamb legs, pork ribs, frozen meat, and of course, it can also be used for vegetables and cooked meat. The large blade surface can transport chopped food. - HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL: This 6.5 inch chopping knife is made of German high-carbon stainless steel, which has been forged up to 56+ Rockwell hardness to ensure the hardness and strength, so that the bone can be easily chop through without breaking the blade. - SHARP EDGE: The edge of the blade is repeatedly ground to the finest state, with 8-12 degrees on both sides, making it easier to cut the meat, saving you effort. And because of its high-quality steel, it can stay sharp for a long time. - EASY HANDING: Each of cooking knife features an ergonomic handle, which is made of Pakkawood, a material that comes from Africa and is known for its comfort, strength and stability. It fits your palm perfectly and provides you with a comfortable grip. - TRUSTED CUSTOMER SERVICE: TUO provides premium customer service, each of our knife will come with an exquisite gift box.

Beautiful packaging, great price. Highly recommend!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Filet away *by W***N on March 26, 2026* Knife is of good quality. Wish it had a sleeve to store in but I just keep in box to avoid any accidents. Works easily and skinning or cleaning meat. I got this thing at half off, but even at its full price is worth purchase. Grip is comfortable which makes handling nice as well as confident in use. Easy to recommend purchasing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/321124972-tuo-cleaver-knife-6-5-inch-butcher-knife-for-chopping](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/321124972-tuo-cleaver-knife-6-5-inch-butcher-knife-for-chopping) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
