Review: Great knife Handle with care - Great knife don’t let your family or guest put it in the dishwasher
Review: 2 years later - this knife has exceeded all my expectations - This is a really good knife for the price, but it does have some flaws. First, just a few things to clarify. This is a stainless steel knife that's made to look like a traditional carbon steel blade. That's not a good or bad thing, just know what you're getting as I ordered this expecting traditional carbon steel. Second, this is NOT a meat cleaver. It probably can cut through bone out of the box but that's not it's intended purpose and I suspect the blade will chip if you do. Chinese cleavers are used as a general purpose chefs knife, for vegetables and chopping, not for hacking through bones. If you need to hack through bones, get a western/german style cleaver. Now a few thoughts: The good: The blade came very sharp, as sharp as my Shun and Global knives that I sharpen regularly with whetstones. That's a huge win for a knife this cheap. The blade shape is actually very nice. It's a little more curved than I expected but it's a very functional knife that works well for chopping ingredients and then using it to transfer them to your wok (or whatever). The blade is very thin and slices effortlessly though most everything I've tried so far. The bad: The bolster of the blade is a bad design. Rather than tapering out from the blade, it's a very wide bolster that is uncomfortable if you tend to use a pinch grip. It is metal, so it can't be easily adjusted. I may actually try to grind this down. The blade is very thin, which is a positive for certain things, but I worry about it's durability. I suspect this blade will be prone to chipping (*note - 2 years later and I was wrong. This has held up surprisingly well). So far, the edge has held well for a week, but I also suspect it's going to need to be sharpened a lot more frequently than my nicer knives (*nope, I was wrong on this too). Overall: this is a very good knife for the price. I've been through a lot of knives including some pretty nice ones. For less than $30 this is a really solid knife. *Update after 2 years - After two years I have to say that I use this knife nearly every day. It is one of my 3 most used knives along with my Global G2 and Shun pairing knife, both of which cost nearly 3 times as much as this cleaver. The edge has held up perfectly fine with no chipping, and no need for sharpening any more often than any other knife I have. I'll also add that, though I didn't initially like the bolster, I've gotten used to it and don't even notice it anymore. I would still prefer a slightly different design but considering the quality and how it has held up for two years at this price, I can't complain at all.
