This cleaver had a huge belly which made it difficult for me to use. But after a few hours reprofiling and thinning down the steel it’s perfect. Great weight, great handle, great steel.

I just receive it. Very fast delivery by the way! I wanted to try chinese cleaver for long time. I am more familiar with santoku and gyuto. I wanted to try. I choose the 2,5mm blade thickness, it is enough for me. At first impression the knife seems a bit heavy, but if you handle it as recommended (with finger on the blade) you get a very precise knife. I enjoy the possiblity to transport food from cutting surface to the span or recipient. I still have a lot to learn with it, but my first impressions are very good. It is true that you can use for many purpose: slicing, chopping, crushed garlic. I think that I will spend a lot of time with my new friend in my kitchen. The carbon steel required a bit of care, but with the camelia oil and a bit of attention it is easy. And the blade has a very good cutting capality and I love the sound of the metal during cutting. A new great knife from Musashi!

Awesome

Ok, I came across a chinese son's blog about his dad. The chinese dad uses only 1 knife in the kitchen, the chinese cleaver. Now I see why. This thing is light enough to chop fast, narrow enough to chop delicately, and sturdy enough to to butcher, for heavy butcher tasks and sharp enough to to mince and to carve. It is the ultimate kitchen knife. I see why you don't really need a dozen different knives. Also, except unless you do a lot of slicing bread. I don't. But shrimp, lobster, crawfish, it's awesome. Maybe not an oyster knife. Also, it is not good at scooping ice cream. But it rocks at slicing ice cream cake! Be careful, you may lose your finger if you are not careful.

I love this cleaver! It’s a little heavier than I expected but it is really well made and sharp. I’ve been using it regularly and it has retained its edge really well.

Slightly curved cleaver, much suited for Western cuisine

Bought it originally by curiosity. But found it remarkably useful for use as an alternative to the French chef's or gyuto, as it isn't deadly flat but has a slight curve. The extra weight is only helpful and it took me very little time to get used to it.
