This is a handy knife to have for cutting up whole chicken, portioning meat or for tough vegetables like squash. The strong, broad blade is sharp and makes those tasks much easier.
You can't go wrong with this Classic meat cleaver. It's heavy enough to chop through any bones but light enough that I can use it for large, hard vegetables. I have other knives in the Classic line and they are such an exceptional value. It's as close as you can get to the knives made in Germany (made in Spain) at a fraction of the cost. They are definitely built to last a lifetime.
I like this one for the size - not too big for my hand! Cuts all meats and also fruits or veggies w/a hard rind - melons and squash. Easy to hold and comfortable.
A meat cleaver that actually works. Handle are so comfortable and heavy duty to cut every bones in that meat. This is one of the essential to have along with your kitchen tools.
Can take a chicken apart in minutes as well as a pork shoulder. Strong handle with riveting means no breaking points. Love the curved angle of the blade.
I like to use this clever for Butternut squash and it came in handy when I wanted fresh milk from a coconut!! that was a project made easy with this clever. You may not use it all the time, but to have it handy for cutting thick chunks of meat or veggies is worth it! This is a great value. Feels good in your hand.
