Review on Ontario Knife Company 7060 Cleaver by Lucas Rowe

So first the bad: Mine looks like it has a crescent shaped crease that has been fixed. Good: You can get it very sharp with some effort and it seems to hold its edge well. Recommend a kitchen steel rod to finish it. This is my first smartass so to be honest I expected to chop with it like an axe. While this works, pressing down on the spine of the blade and swinging it is much more effective. For example, I pulled out a roll of frozen sausage. I hacked at it like an ax three times before it splintered and half of the sausage flew over the table and off the wall. I then tried the rocking approach to slice thinly and it cut through very easily. Overall I think it's a cool item, but it's not a huge improvement over the butcher knife that comes with a set of aged Ontario hickory that basically does the same thing. I would only recommend it if you don't already have a good butcher knife.
