A well-made cleaver for all those hens, chickens, and ducks you will serve! The Gourmet line is a great entry line for Zwilling. Even though it is stamped and a bit lighter-weight, it is still a quality cleaver and you will be amazed at how well it works!
Very comfortable lightweight handle when using it for cutting large pieces of meat and whole chickens. Sharp blade and stays sharp. Everyone should have a cleaver as a knife.
Cleavers are wonderful for cut up whole chickens, chicken wings, and ribs. Great addition to any kitchen. This Gourmet cleaver has a good weight and a sturdy handle.
Cleavers are great to add into your kitchen tool kit. A meat cleaver makes cutting into those ribs and beer can chickens easy. This one is a great cleaver for the price.
This cleaver is great for cutting through bones and tendons. Easily break down a chicken or slab of ribs. Comes in handy for cutting hard squash and smashing garlic.
I've has this Zwilling Gourmet knife for years, and it's still in great condition and I never have to sharpen it. This knife is Precision-stamped from a single-piece of solid steel, Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper, stays sharper longer, and has superior resilience, ideal cutting angle for sharpness and durability.
When a recipe calls for crushed garlic...pull this one out of your block. I also use it for slicing ginger and other tough skinned vegetables! Easy to handle. the 6 inch blade is user friendly and fairly light weight for the type of production it will help yield. My butcher block has a spaced designed for this cleaver. I use it!!!
Personally I am a little intimidated by the cleaver, but my husband finds it very handy for breaking down a chicken or ribs. Great weight behind it. Good price for the quality.
