For a cleaver, this one is very lightweight and is easy to handle. The comfortable grip allows you to feel more comfortable swinging away. It is sharp and always gets the job done.
Gourmet knives have the three rivet handle that is both comfortable and durable. I love the logo as the second pin in the handle. They are made of high carbon German steel in Germany so you know they are sharp and are going to stay that way. Because they are stamped, not forged, they are lighter, flexible and less expensive that their forged "cousin".
This Chinese clever is perfect for chopping through large vegetables such as cabbage. The blade is extremely wide, but light and comfortable. With a little practice, you may prefer this over your chef knife.
Nicely made cleaver. Stamped from specially formulated steel that is corrosion resistant. Because of the patented ice hardening process this cleaver will be strong yet flexible to resist cracking and chipping even when cutting through something tough like butternut squash.
This vegetable cleaver is nice and long to get through those tough butternut squashes. Made from stamped, premium German ice hardened steel this cleaver is at a great price point and will hold it's edge for a long time without chipping.
The Gourmet series is a great series by Zwilling, not the top, but a very good alternative. Still is super sharp, stays sharp and is durable. Also will not chip or stain, due to the ice-hardening process they use for all their knives. This one is superb for cutting veggies and even meats. Easy to handle.
