6.5-Inch Kitory Meat Cleaver - High Carbon Steel Forged Small Kitchen Knife With Natural Wood Handle, 9CrMoV18 Blade Review

Its gorgeous to behold. The wood handle is very pretty and the blade is large for doing large amounts of prep. I am a chef and needed a good knife for large amounts of prep. This vegetable clever fit the bill. My only complaint is the slight favor on the left bevel which makes the knife slice to the right. Ive been working on it myself. Idk if this is apart of the design that forces the knife away from the user (being right handed it pushes the blade to the right, away from my 'claw hand'). Not

Good weight and balance. Easy to clean and wipe down. Comes sharpened. Cuts fruits, vegetables, meats, and fingers effortlessly.

When I opened the package and lifted the cleaver I found it much too heavy for me. Item is being returned. The 9CrMoV18 blade may be more prone to chipping than other materials, such as ceramic!

The Kitory knife is light weight but heavy enough to cut though a head of cabbage with with ease. This knife is very well balanced and very sharp right out of the package.

The knife has a very good weight to it and the gandle has a good grip. My only issue was I had to sharpen the knife quite a lot when it arrived.

My husband purchased this knife for his own use in the kitchen. He likes it. Quality product, nice weight, lovely handle.

I didn’t even use it once because as soon as I lifted it up I knew it was too heavy for my hand and wrist. It is a beautiful item and for the right person I’m sure it would be perfect. It just wasn’t for me unfortunately.

Looks nice and works well, but it rusts super easily, and the wood handle is not very smooth, lots of burrs. Thanks for attention.

I love the design, the weight, how it feels in hand, and overall very sharp, my only and ultimately the biggest issue is that afterabout two uses the blade started to get rusty. I had to remove the rust and cure the blade again before I could use it. It was a big let down to see rust on the fine blade. Forshame to the maker.

You get what you pay for with this knife. It is fairly cheap but the quality is right there as well. A dull knife is dangerous so I would not buy this unless you are able to sharpen it before you use it the first time.

Excellent blade. Comes pre-sharpened to near razor sharpness. Good weight and balance. Just an overall excellent item.

I havent had the chance to use it yet. However am looking forward to that moment. Living on a farm, cutting up various meats i have needed a cleaver. Been borrowing my sons out of his chef collection. My new cleaver has a nice feel to it. Just heavy enough. The overall design is gorgeous.

First glance without use: Box is all chinese writing. Ran my finger across knives and they aren't sharp. bought as a Christmas present. hopefully it's what they expected. But for the price the quality isn't there.

This knife is great, but comes without a case and is so sharp. I am afraid to keep it uncovered in the drawer. That's my feedback.

Sharp, solid knife. Plenty of weight for the big jobs and definitely arrived with a great edge on it. Very happy with this product for the price. The only concern I have is the handle doesn't seem to be coated or laquered. Just natural wood so I definitely won't be putting it in a dishwasher. Not a big deal to me but may be for some people.

This knife cut a turkey right in half, it's very sharp so we keep it up in a box. We use it when we are going to cut meet with a bone in it. It's a great knife.

Not the sharpest blade in the draw. I use it for vegetables. Has a bit of trouble with raw sweet potato. But it does apples and oranges ok.
