Equilibrium 16.5cm Cleaver, German Stainless Steel Blade, Black Handle, Silver

Fantastic product. I woukd definitely buy again.

I've been after a meat cleaver for a while. Came across this one. Took a chance. Glad I did. This item came beautifully packaged. Taking this cleaver out of its packing and holding it - it exudes class. Extremely sharp and well balanced to the top of the blade to make chopping easier. But it also works very well as a knife. Slices thru' raw meat, cooked meat, cheese, tomatoes. and chops thru' various squashes without much trouble. I've given this cleaver one * in the Feature marked " Lightweight " because it certainly isn't lightweight. However, it is nicely balanced. This one is going to last me a long time. I'm a happy camper!!

If you're going to buy a cleaver then get a heavy one like this - lightweight ones bounce off tough bones and joints whereas this one keeps on going through. Use a thick heavy chopping board and keep your fingers well out of the way! The steel is a bit soft but that's OK, harder steel might well chip/shatter and it is easy to sharpen - it doesn't need to be razor sharp to do it's job. If you have ever used your best chef's knife for a bit of cleaving then don't - you'll likely damage it in the end. Buy one of these instead.

This cleaver performs well in many kitchen tasks. From paring chops to trimming ginger. Very good steel.

Nicely weighted, very sharp! Does the job! I've been using for a couple of weeks and very pleased with product 😀
