Huusk Butcher Knife for Meat Cutting, Hand Forged Meat Knives, High Carbon Cleaver with Wood Handle, Slicing Knife with Box, Ideal Christmas Gift for Man and Women

Great knife. Very sharp and has a good weight for chopping. The only thing I don’t like is the leather string in the back. It gets in my way so I cut it off.

My wife is very happy with this knife. She says it cuts frozen foods as well as thawed meats and vegetables. She was very impressed with the sharpness of the blade and likes the scabbard for safely storing it as well. The price is very fair for a knife of this quality.

Beautiful, strong and functional

The main reason I purchased this kitchen knife is that I have a partial paralysis of my dominant right hand, which makes it not only difficult but also hazardous to use my regular kitchen knives. This knife works great. Having a hole for my index finger provides a more secure grip on the knife, and the wide blade allows me to safely guide the blade with the knuckles of my left hand. The quality of the carbon steel is very good. The blade takes and holds a sharp edge. However, being carbon steel, the blade requires more care than a stainless steel blade. Be aware that this is a large knife and is quite heavy.

Great knife.

Came very sharp, comfortable handle and cuts easily though a bit on the weighty side but that works to its benefit for a chopping style knife.

Razor sharp right out of the box!!! Good balance for comfort. I've purchased many products from Huusk and am Totally satisfied!!! Looking to buy steak knives next from them...

I picked up this knife on sale and brought it to a white elephant gift exchange attended by a bunch of foodies. The hosts owned a full set of Coolinas proudly displayed in their kitchen among numerous high end German and Japanese cooking knives. The Huusk knife was the hit of the party, and was 'stolen' the maximum number of times per the exchange rules. Everyone wanted it. This Huusk knife is so nice looking and well packaged that the host accused me of going over the $35 price limit. I didn't, but I think they felt a bit ripped off after paying three times as much for the same quality of knife with a trendy name. Let's be honest here, few legitimate chefs use this type of knife in a professional kitchen. These knives are cumbersome and prone to rust, but they are a fun novelty, and maybe a substitute for a cleaver for a home chef. I was about to buy this Huusk knife for my wife when the host of the party we attended gifted us a Coolina. It too is cumbersome and prone to rust. We rarely choose it over our Wusthof and Zwilling knives, but it is fun to break out when guests come over. I would never pay for a Coolina when knives like the Huusk are available. It is a real bargain.
