Review on Premium Hand Forged Full Tang Butcher Knife for Efficient Meat Cutting - High Carbon Steel Meat Cleaver Knife Ideal for Home, Restaurant, Outdoor Camping, BBQ by Patrick Locke

The knife came with fingerprints on the metal so it should always be washed before first use. The knife is very heavy but has a good balance between blade and handle. To deal with this you need to cut; You cannot use a regular chef's knife or nakiri/cleaver up and down. Best if you are looking for a carving knife. I wouldn't recommend it for veggies. **Update** After 2 months of use the blade is still sharp which is good and the learning curve is stabilizing. Don't expect a chef's knife, but it's worth the price.
