## Description

desertcart.com: Dalstrong 7" Butcher Meat Cleaver Knife - Forged High-Carbon German Steel | Gladiator Series - Black Handle - Sheath - Razor Sharp - Giftable - NSF Certified - Customer Support Included : Home & Kitchen

Review: The most used knife in my kitchen! - I purchased this cleaver five years ago to supplement the eight Zwilling Henckels knives I had acquired over the years, mainly with the intention of using it to cut through chicken bones. It has since become the most-used knife in my collection, and I now understand why 7” cleavers are the only knives most Chinese chefs use in their kitchens. It won’t replace a paring knife, but it will make short work of slicing meats as well as breaking down poultry and dicing or mincing all manner of vegetables and herbs. The wide blade really facilitates moving chopped veggies into a pan or wok, and also works great for flattening veal and chicken filets. The cleaver is well balanced and very comfortable to hold with a pinch grip over the full tang for extended periods. I sharpen it with a whetstone and leather strop every few months along with the rest of my knives and the German high-carbon steel holds an edge very well, and after five years the blade has never yet chipped or rusted (I always hand wash and dry after use). In short I highly recommend this attractively priced cleaver, especially if you can’t currently afford a high quality set of more specialized knives.
Review: Priced for Quality. The extras included increase safety of storage (mandatory) - Extremely sharp, extremely heavy meat cleaver, You will need to have good upper body strength to use this product. Also recommended is a very heavy cutting board, or block. With adequate force this will split the average good-quality 1 inch bamboo cutting board. It comes with a strong plastic blade cover which is absolutely needed. It also comes in a very heavy presentation container for storage. Without proper storage this cleaver is extremely dangerous for the unwary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most used knife in my kitchen!
*by K***F on November 1, 2022*

I purchased this cleaver five years ago to supplement the eight Zwilling Henckels knives I had acquired over the years, mainly with the intention of using it to cut through chicken bones. It has since become the most-used knife in my collection, and I now understand why 7” cleavers are the only knives most Chinese chefs use in their kitchens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Impressions
*by N***E on December 16, 2018*

Hello everyone, I just received this beautiful hunk of German steel in the mail! First Impressions: very nicely packaged, worthy of gifting. The cleaver seems well made, fit and finish are good except the wood on either side of handle don't perfectly align, meaning if blade is resting on cutting board and you look straight down at top of handle the right side wood of handle goes toward blade maybe a millimeter further than left. No big deal for me just worth noting. I don't see any gaps between wood of handle and metal which is a good thing. Today I made a butternut squash soup and using this cleaver to break down the squash was way easier than using my chef knife. I basically purchased this cleaver to use like a very large nakiri vegetable knife for large produce; think whole heads of cabbage and the butternut squash I just mentioned. The cleaver seems sharp but not as sharp as say a Japanese chef knife but it's a trade off here, this is a very robust blade and you need an edge that holds up to very heavy use without the very annoying "chipping" phenomenon that plagues some razor blade edge chefs knives. This cleaver appears like it should not have that problem. The spine of the blade is squard and not rounded so pinch grip is not as comfortable and the edges of spine and fairly sharp. I don't mind in this case I do use the back of the spine for scraping so for me it works to have a slightly sharp edge, plus you don't risk dulling your edge prematurely. Overall I am very happy with this Cleaver it performed well for my intended use of it. I did not receive this item free in exchange for review, however I did purchasen this cleaver of a lightning deal for a reduced price. Thanks for puttingmup with my ramblings if you've made it this far. I will update this review as I use it more.
