This is the perfect cleaver. Too many cleavers are heavy and rely on that weight to cut through. This one relies on the quality of the blade. The German steel and construction produce a strong sharp blade that is easy to maintain. The handle is comfortable and gives me confidence when using it. I love the traditional three rivet design with the Zwilling logo on the center rivet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good cleaver for the price

I purchased this cleaver because it was a good price and I love that it is made out of German steel. I like the handle on this knife because it is nicely curved to my hand. I like that this is a little more lightweight so that I don't get fatigued using it.

Nice, balanced meat cleaver..

Stamped but feels forged in your hand. Great no-stain GSS with thick spine for aggressive cut/cleave. Classic 3 rivet handle completes traditional look.

Makes quick work of meats and bones.

This is a very good meat cleaver for home cooking. Excellent for breaking down chickens, smaller pork and lamb bones. It isn't a full on butchery knife but for home use, and restaurant prep work, I like it a lot. It holds an edge and is heavy enough to give a little help when I am cutting through bones. Its lightness, and relative thinness, makes it good for meal prep.
The Gourmet line is a very good line of stamped knives. They are manufactured under tight controls and precise standards at Zwilling’s factory in Solingen, Germany. They have a full tang, running from the tip to the heel of the handle making these knives sturdy and stable. The comfortable handle is solid without being heavy.
Because the composition of the steel, these knives will stay sharp and responsive with every cut. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash to keep it looking new.

I'm writing this review after watching my husband go to town on the ribs he wanted to smoke. It scared me a bit but he had always wanted a meat cleaver so this is the one that was recommended. First of all... IT IS HEAVY, but I think that's the point, it has cut thru chicken bones like they were styrofoam, and judging by the smile on his face did some serious work on those rib bones. The Zwilling knives have always been the bes, this has now been added to the collection!

This meat cleaver is amazing and gets the job done! It is slightly lighter than other German meat cleavers, but still has enough weight behind it.

This cleaver is a quality knife made in Germany with specially formulated steel but it is stamped instead of forged so in addition to a more competitive price point it is a bit lighter than a forged knife which many home chefs enjoy. A cleaver was designed to be used on meat but is also good for hard vegetables such as squash. Not just for cutting up bone in meat it is also good for cubing or mincing meat. The large surface area is useful for scooping up chopped items and the flat side can be used to smash items such as lemongrass or garlic.

I think this is such a great line of knives. It's perfect for someone who wants the quality of a knife made from high carbon German steel and made in Germany. A knife that has the durable three rivet handle but doesn't want to the weight or price of a forged knife.
This is a stamped knife so it is a lighter than a forged knife. For me, this is particularly helpful with a cleaver that is heavy by design. I feel much more comfortable handling this and it's still sharp and thick enough to chop through any meat or bones with ease.
