SHI BA ZI ZUO Meat Cleaver 7 Inch Heavy Duty Bone Cleaver Butcher Knife Full Tang Handle with Heft Stainless Steel Cleaver knife

This Shi Ba Zi Zuo butcher cleaver is well designed and made. The blade is 8" long with a handle measuring at 6" long. Mine weighed 2lbs. 5.6oz or 1,065 grams. The blade is 1/4" thick or 6.5mm thick. I have not used it yet for kitchen use - but I have no doubt it will chop to perfection as it is very heavy and very sharp.The wood and metal finish are very well done. Excellent product.

I’ve used it for everything from breaking down chicken to handling large cuts of pork, and it performs flawlessly every time. Cleaning is straightforward, and the craftsmanship really stands out—it looks as professional as it performs.

This bone cleaver is an absolute powerhouse in the kitchen. From the moment I picked it up, I could feel the weight and balance — it’s clearly designed for heavy-duty use. Whether I’m chopping through bones, joints, or tough cuts of meat, this knife handles it with ease.If you work with large cuts of meat or need a reliable cleaver for home butchering, this one is well worth it. Highly recommended for serious home cooks and BBQ lovers alike!

Beautiful knife, lots of weight, well balanced, and the handle is large and griping it is easy.Unfortunately this one has serious pitting on the polished blade just waiting to rust. I shopped for another brand (WÜSTHOF), as much as I like this one.

It's terrifyingly sharp out of the box and can definitely chop through bone, so use with extreme caution and don't place it at the edge of a counter where it could fall or something. I keep it stored in its box when not in use. I use this cleaver to chop up big tough cuts of beef, and it slices through it like it's warm butter. Feels very well built.

Very good quality and material, durable so you don’t need to worry about anything when chopping through bones. Size and weight is perfect for what it’s intended for

Like the weight and balance. It cuts thru chicken bones without even trying, let the weight do the job for you.

I read a few negative reviews prior to purchasing. Some said a sticker was on the blade. None on mine. One person didn't like the tang to scale finish. The metal is just a bit proud (1mm) but its barely noticeable. I think its fine. It does weigh 2+pounds and it should. You want the blade to do the work. Would I buy again? Yes, even more so now. It's very well done in my opinion. It will do what it is intended to do and it does look good. This thing will last your lifetime and it is worthy to pass down. It is very sharp too.
