Cleaver Knife Ultra Sharp Meat Cleaver 7 inch Butcher Knife. High Carbon German Stainless Steel Chef Knives for Kitchen and Restaurant

Item was placed in a plastic envelope without padding. Envelope was mangled on one end, gift box severely damaged and unusable. How I don't know, but the knife survived perfectly intact and extremely sharp. Threw box away and mounted magnets to the side of my small knife block. I've recently begun Asian style cooking with fresh ingredients. I first purchased a wok and quickly realized I needed a complementary cutting tool. I researched traditional Asian style knives, both low and high-end and I wanted one that was versatile for more more than just cutting up food. Since I wasn't certain how I would be able to use this style of knife I didn't want to spend much money until I got a feel for the tool. I've only had this knife for a little over two weeks. But it has become my go-to cutting tool. I do most of the cooking in my house so I use it everyday. I love this knife. Full tang or not, wood handle or not, don't care. This knife is very well made, easy to use, and so far it works beautifully for most of my food prep needs. I still use other types of knives for specific needs. But with the Aroma House 7 inch meat cleaver I am able to get very thin slices whether vegetables or protein. The design is well thought out, it's comfortable and easy to hold and use, especially for smaller hands like mine. Chopping and dicing is a breeze. Whack garlic to a pulp with the heavy side? No problem. Tenderize meat with the spine eliminates my heavy meat hammer most of the time. After cutting or chopping I can scoop ingredients with the same knife right into the wok, pan, or bowl for holding until needed. I do NOT chop bones with it. Although I have cut up whole chickens in the traditional 8-pieces, slices and cuts right through. I am extremely pleased with my purchase so far, and at this point I would recommend this Aroma House knife to anyone, especially if you've never used a Asian style before. I thought this would be an entry level tool. But I was wrong, it's much more than that. The only drawback for me is that the blade is a little too short. Should like this knife in 8 or even 9 inches in length. Nonetheless, it's all good, and a dream to use. I removed one star in the maneuverability category. The knife may not be un-maneuverable. I think perhaps my skill level needs improvement? So, I may have to add it back? Anyway... Happy cutting and cooking!

The wife bought me one for Christmas. I've broken down chickens, pork roasts, wings, and chopped some veggies with it. Our of the box it's nicely made. Handle is fitted well and the metal finish is even and very shiny. The important part: Holy smokes this thing is sharp. The cutting bevel is ground at a shallow angle giving it an extremely sharp edge. I have some entry level Japanese made stainless knives as well as a mid grade Henckels. The only thing I have that comes close is a Swedish made Mora. Ergonomics are good although I would prefer a less rounded handle with some texture to give a little more secure grip when my hands gets all greasy and bloody. I found a "pinch" grip better to give more control when cutting smaller stuff like chicken wings. Keeps your off hand fingers clear when making big cuts. This is a 1lb straight razor. It will take off your finger just as easily as a drumstick.

What a fantastic knife at a great price! Slices, dices antique chops with great ease. Well balanced with just the right amount of weight / Mass to really make cutting meat and vegetables a pleasant activity! I've been using it almost everyday and I've yet to sharpen it. Although when I do, I'm going to use my Lansky diamond sharpening system just to keep a very nice/shary edge and a consistent angle. I've used sharpening stones in the past but I'm not consistent enough to maintain a perfect edge. Also, because the handle/tang has a smooth transition and it looks like they used lacquer to coat the wood, cleanup is extremely easy. I imagine I'll be using this knife for a lifetime, at least my lifetime.

Sharp and elegant-looking

Good size meat cleaver. Adequate weight, Very sharp. Wipe the blade carefully when cleaning. For the price, it's an excellent product. It gets the job done extremely well.

Great cleaver extremely sharp. Good balance and very versatile

I got this for my husband for Christmas this year. He surprised me when he told me that he wanted a meat cleaver for Christmas, but he does like to BBQ a lot and use his meat smoker. I found this cleaver shortly after he told me that he wanted one. I loved how it looked and that it seemed so well made. When he opened it, he was very happy with it. He made a roast in the smoker this last weekend and had to cut it all up for a recipe he was making. He said that the meat cleaver was so nice and sharp that it cut through that roast like butter. I'm extremely happy with this purchase!

Excelente producto. Cumple todas las expectativas.

It’s a really beautiful item. The wooden handle has a lovely grain. This would make a great gift for a keen cook.

Trabajo en un sitio donde los cuchillos y machetas son abundantes y tengo que reconocer que me he llevado una agradable sorpresa con esta macheta, lo manejable que es, el buen material del que está hecha ya que el acero es bastante bueno y el mango es muy ergonómico. Ayer mismo estuve cortando carne en casa y reconozco que estuve cortándolo sin apenas esfuerzo, muy recomendable.

Sarebbe dovuto arrivare in 3 giorni, quindi lunedì, ma con immensa gioia già venerdì mi é stato consegnato! Imballo nella norma. Scatola del coltello molto bella, adatta anche ad un regalo! Coltello di buona fattura, facile da usare e molto funzionale! Per ora mi ci sto trovando molto bene e lo sto usando molto! Non ho ad oggi riscontrato difetti, lo consiglio da comprare e da ricomprare!! :)

Ich wollte noch unbedingt ein Hackmesser zu meinem kurz zuvor gekauften Messerset haben.So entschied ich mich für das von Aroma House,da es von der Grifffarbe am besten zu meinem Set passt. Das Messer sieht mit dem glänzenden Holzgriff und der schönen Maserung sehr edel aus,liegt sehr gut in der Hand und ist wirklich Rasiermesserscharf (hier sollte jeder wirklich auf die Finger aufpassen!!!).Auch das Gewicht ist schön ausgewogen und angenehm.Es ist nicht zu schwer,aber auch nicht zu leicht. Auch die Verarbeitung beeindruckt mich bei so einem ''günstigen'' Preis.Alles ist sauber verarbeitet.Nichts ist krumm,nicht steht über oder ist sonst irgendwie schlecht verarbeitet.Hier bekommt man ein hochwertiges Messer mit einem unschlagbaren Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Geliefert wird das Messer in einem dicken schwarzen Kartonschuber mit silbernem Firmenlogo in dem der Karton inkl. Magnetverschluss mit dem Messer enthalten ist.Das Messer ist in einem schwarzen festen Schaumstoff,der oben mit roten Stoff überzogen ist eingebettet und auf der Klinge liegt zum Schutz auch noch mal solch ein Schaumstoff. Von diesem Messer bin ich sehr begeistert und könnte den ganzen Tag irgendetwas damit schneiden.Ob Fleisch,Gemüse oder Obst,dieses Hackmesser hackt und schneidet alles mit Leichtigkeit.So muss ein Messer sein. Dieses Hackmesser kann ich nur Empfehlen.SUPER !!!!

Today, I used this knife for the second time since I bought it to open a coconut. The blade is now ruined and even if I could do something about it, the quality of the metal is obviously not fit for purpose (see photo). Imagine using it on a bone. Avoid.
