SHI BA ZI ZUO 7 Inches Stainless Steel Meat and Vegetable Cleaver Knife with Ergonomic and Sturdy Wooden Handle

The handle ergonomics of the 7" cleaver are great. Would've loved a more rounded spine but thanks to the tapered bolster, it's still comfortable to hold with a pinch grip long enough to dispatch a basket of hard vegetables for a stir fry. The rosewood handle meets the bolster and butt smoothly but not perfectly. Not a dealbreaker for $32. Cutting edge is slightly curved -- just enough for a rock chop if you wanna do that. Arrives very sharp but with a slight burr I removed with a few passes over a 1000 grit stone and a strop. Honestly, I'd use this cleaver more often if I didn't love my chef knife so much, but I go out of my way to use this and ONLY this when preparing any sort of Chinese dish. It just feels right :)

Made very well

My Victorinox cooking knife is easy to use but is showing its age. It is also of light duty. I then bought an Imarku 7 inch meat cleaver out of necessity, which comes real handy when cutting ribs or chopping bones. While both of them are more than adequate, neither made me go "WOW" the way this Shi Ba Zi Zou does. This thing cuts raw sirloin steak as if it were cutting tofu. It is so sharp to the point of making me a little nervous the first few times I used it. I know I can't be sloppy with it. It is light weight and is sized just right for me. The handle is shaped for comfort. I kept telling my wife "you've gotta try this knife!" I don't know how durable it is going to be, but even if it isn't very durable, I would have no trouble replacing it every few years given it's low price. I am super happy about making this purchase.

needs to be sharpened

I have not YET) had too many uses for it, but works well when I did.

Stays sharp and does it job. Completely scratched up my cutting board.

Been using it for a while now. Stays sharp and it's a good size

It is not sharp.

Relación calidad precio excelente, para usarlo hay que hacerlo con mucho cuidado , viene con un filo perfecto

Fantastic Cleaver. The weight feels just right—not too heavy, not too light—and it glides through chicken (no bones!) and vegetables like butter. The handle has a solid grip and feels secure even with wet hands. I dry off the blade immediately after washing. After a few weeks of use, the edge is still holding strong with minimal maintenance.

Wer nur ein kleines Budget hat und auf solche Messer steht unbedingt kaufen

My 4th time buying this brand. Got one extra for my friend. And extra for relatives. After they use it, they said will never use other brand again. Excellent quality, excellent shape as well as excellent balance. Best of the best.
