Meat Cleaver Knife 7.4 Inch, Ultra Sharp Chinese Chef's Knives, Full-tang Chopping Knife, 30Cr13 Steel Blade Thickness 2.5 mm, TJ SEGA Series TC1707

Excellent all around cleaver with good quality and weight balance. It performs better than those costing hundreds more.

Absolutely love the knife. The weight of it isn't too heavy but it is nice enough to have that I can have a good firm grip with it. I love the flower detail. It makes for one beautiful knife. I always wanted to have a cleaver and for this price I am happy with what I got.

Great knife with high quality . Not too heavy ,very handy and easy to cut meat.

I've always pined for my Dad's stainless steel Chinese vegetable knife. His isn't quite as tall as this, but also is less "polished" and a bit lighter. I've searched high and low for a replica, but of course his is generic and most likely from a bulk kitchen store in some China town from decades ago.I purchased a Japanese Nakiri in the ~$100 range as a substitute, but is heavier, much nicer, and I can't bring myself to throw it in the dishwasher.Given the price I figured this was worth a shot. It is sharp and I use a honing steel regularly so it stays sharp. Its lighter than the Nakiri but not as light as my Dad's. Its also taller than my Dad's, which is good in some use cases, but I wish it were a 1/2" shorter at least. The handle is comfy. The best part imo, is its stainless and cheap so I throw it in the dishwasher every time without hesitation.I didn't give it five stars as I noticed a rust colored stain smeared across some of the engraving near the handle...unsure what it is but it doesn't wash off or change and I've been using this for 6mos. It has me a little concerned that this might be lower quality steel and it might "go bad" at some point...esp w/ my dishwasher use. If it did get worse to the point to where I thought it was an issue I'd still probably buy another one of these.

good knife with high quality. easy to cut meat, vegetable

GREAT KNIFE

EXCELLENT!!!

Bought this knife right at a year ago. Went with this one because I just cook at home, didnt have a cleaver already, and didn't know if I'd really need/want to ever use one. So I didnt want to spend a whole lot of money on yet another *thing* that I will end up throwing in a drawer and forgetting about until the next time my wife tells me we are accumulating more clutter and have to start throwing stuff away. So my 0.02 on this:1) I actually use the hell out of this thing, useful way more than I thought it would be. I've probably used it for dinner prep 2 to 3 times per week since. So if you are thinking about getting a butcher's knife for the first time, yeah you will be glad you have one.2) The Knife itself is actually really good: AT THIS PRICE POINT.It's well balanced, and good quality. It was razor sharp out of the box, and had good weight. I'e used it frequently for a year, and have not YET had to do anything except use a steel on the edge.That said, a year in I need to re edge it. I'll probably just upgrade to a good medium quality knife that is of a significantly higher quality steel. Worth the money for me to have a Butcher knife.So if you are looking for a knife long term, for regular use? Keep looking.But if you are like me and dont know if you'd actually use one, or if you know you'd use one less frequently? It's a good deal.
