Review on German Steel Meat Cleaver - Super Sharp Kitory Knife For Professional Chefs | Kitchen Gift Idea by Preston Molden

Since these reviews are for three different knives, I posted a picture of the specific cleaver I am reviewing. I cook a lot of Asian food, and I use a cleaver to do almost all of my slicing and cutting. My 14-year-old cleaver had a rivet break in the handle, so as much as I regretted it, I had to find a new cleaver. After shopping around and trying to understand these confusing reviews, I settled on this one. Let me tell you, I no longer have any regrets about having to replace my old-faithful cleaver (which I still use on frozen foods) with this one. It is literally the best cooking knife I have ever had. It's super-sharp, with no sign of dulling after three weeks of daily use on a wooden cutting board. The cleaver is very comfortable to hold and is very well-balanced. I actually look forward to using it. I don't have to be concerned about any rivets breaking because of the way the pakkawood handle is attached. I always wash my knives by hand so I never have to worry about the handle deteriorating. If my inexpensive Korean-grocery-store cleaver lasted 14 years, I expect this cleaver to last the rest of my life. It's fantastic. I mean, how often do you buy something and it's exactly what you want or it even performs better than you expected? This is one of those things. Zero regrets, and I will be giving these as gifts in the future. Oh, and I rarely, rarely leave reviews, so that's just how special this cleaver is. On my wish list, I had a set of Victorinox chef's knives. I have since deleted them. I'm good. Super-happy with this cleaver.
