Review: Wow - what a tool!! - 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!!
Review: excellent product - good quality

## Features

- MATERIAL: our Equilibrium range is made from German high-quality chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel, which is ice-hardened for longer lasting sharpness and rust resistance.
- SIZE: this Santoku knife has a light 12.5cm blade. The Santoku, which translates to "three ways," is a flexible knife that can be used for slicing, dicing, and mincing, among other things.
- COMFORT AND PRECISION: the forged bolster and curved handle provide a comfortable grip and perfect balance, for a precise, professional standard knife.
- SANTOKU KNIFE: Originating in Japan, Santoku knives are ideal for finely slicing vegetables and seafood, and will also cut meats and cheeses with ease.
- EQUILIBRIUM: The Equilibrium 12.5cm Santoku knife, was originally crafted and invented for Japanese homemakers who wanted to recreate Western-style cuisine in their kitchen (not to be confused with the other Western-style Japanese knife - Gyoto).

*by K***M on 28 March 2023*

Been building my collection of Rockingham forge knives as an avid home cook! These are professional quality, affordable in price and have no hesitation to recommend! I am building my collection of the Equilibrium range, but other ranges / styles available to suit budget and personal preference in design, look and feel! Not sure if any significant difference in material or quality accorss the different ranges but happy to say that the Equilibrium range and price Point is definitely one to be considered for a home chef looking for quality knives that will last!
