Utopia Kitchen 5 Inch Cleaver Knife Stainless Steel Chopper Butcher Knife for Home Kitchen and Restaurant Black

I didn't want to spend too much because it's not something I'll use often, so I searched Amazon for the cheapest one. The reviews looked pretty good, so I took a chance and I'm very happy I did! On 1st use, was able to cut up a turkey with ease. My wife got a 9lbs bird from Costco's and I didn't feel like spending 4hrs cooking in the oven, so I wanted to see if I could pressure cook it. It didn't fit well and I used this cleaver and it worked beautifully. Was able to chop through an uncooked turkey and barely fit our pressure cooker. After an hour of cooking it was done. The next time I'll use this cleaver will probably be to de-husk a coconut and I'm sure it will work like a charm! Don't hesitate to but this! It's a really nice cleaver, very sharp, the 7" one has a nice weight to it and it feels nice in my hands. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

I received this cleaver and was very impressed with the quality and durability. It is every bit as good as advertised. It is medium-large and adequately heavy with good heft in the hand. Like my daughter said upon picking it up, "Wow. You could do some real damage with this!" Yes, you can buy a few larger cleavers but I don't really think you will want to get anything larger, unless maybe you are in the business of commercial meat preparation.It is made of High Carbon stainless steel and the tang goes all the way through the handle. I know a few people have complained that they had trouble with the handle on theirs, but the handle is strong so far, with no sign of problems, and I don't expect any problem. The full tang is surrounded with a fitted molding of high impact ABS PVC plastic, for the grip. It is strong and durable, and I expect that it will be plenty long lasting, unless you drop it on hard concrete (not the best idea, anyway) or otherwise impact the ABS handle.This cleaver was very sharp, right out of the box. I routinely test my blades by using them to shave the hair on my arms. Some blades are never sharp enough. Some will shave, but require a lot of pressure. This cleaver just shaved my hair cleanly and smoothly. Very nice.I tested it on some very soft, ripe (but unbruised) avocados. It bisected them neatly, right through the seed and everything. Whack. Whack! Now, you would expect that a cleaver could cut through the soft flesh of the avocado. And you would expect that it would even, easily, cut through the avocado seed. But the impressive part was the cleanness of the cut. Right through both the hard seed and the soft flesh without bruising the flesh, squashing it, or pushing it aside by the seed as the blade passed through the seed. Very good.I could not feel good unless I give you a word of warning: PLEASE be CAREFUL with this cleaver. If you don't know how to use it, then learn how. My daughter, carelessly, let the cleaver drop an inch or two, onto the cutting board. Unfortunately, her finger was on the cutting board. The cleaver went right through her fingernail and cut some into her flesh, though it didn't penetrate farther because it was only dropped an inch or so. But, this cleaver WILL take off your finger if you are not careful. I mean it. No joke. You can use it to slice, just like a knife blade, with the proper precautions for your hands, but if you are using it as a cleaver, to whack stuff, then KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE CUTTING BOARD when chopping. And, if worst comes to worst and you DO cut off a finger (I am serious) then take your finger, put it in a bag with some ice, and drive immediately to the nearest emergency room. Because the cut will be so clean, and without extra tissue damage, there is a reasonable chance that they can be successful in re-attaching it.If you are looking for a cleaver, I recommend this one. A great value for the price.I should note that this cleaver is EXACTLY the same and the same model as what is sold by a different company here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DKMY3K3I promise you that these are the same exact things, but sold under different names, possibly by different companies.

I’ve been using the Utopia Kitchen 7-inch Cleaver Knife for a few months now, and it has quickly become one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. The stainless steel blade is sharp right out of the box and holds its edge really well even after repeated use. It cuts through meat, bones, and veggies with ease, making prep work much faster and smoother.The knife feels solid and well-balanced in hand—not too heavy, but sturdy enough to handle tougher chopping jobs. The handle is comfortable to grip, even during longer cooking sessions, and it doesn’t slip or cause fatigue.For the price, the quality is outstanding. Whether you’re a home cook or someone who just wants a dependable cleaver without spending a fortune, this is an excellent buy. Highly recommend!

This 7-inch Utopia Kitchen Cleaver with Sheath is Comfortable weight in my hand. It's beautifully assembled and balanced. The Kitchen Cleaver is one piece. I was impressed with the Cleaver's multiple purposes. It's made my prep work much easier. It's easy on my hand, I also purchase a sheath to cover and protect my Cleaver. Thank you.

Perfect chef knife with a heavy weight to it. Very sharp out the gate! Great for splitting chicken or ribs. Handle has a good grip/feel. Like the added hanging hole in the top so I can hang this up.

I bought this after reading reviews. I am going to list the pros and cons. The knife is very sharp when its fresh out of the box, however if you chop too many bones it does lose its sharpness very soon. But, it can be sharpened easily and can be done multiple times because the knife is really heavy and has lot of metal in it. The handle is seamlessly built and merges into the blade beautifully. I use it for pretty much anything, cutting vegetables (I know right? but its got some weight to it so cutting vegetables is easy. Whatever it lacks in sharpness the weight compensates it because it helps in chopping). I use a trick to sharpen my blade everytime when I use it. I take ceramic coffee mug or a bowl and use its underside (the rough round edge) to sharpen it. Takes 10-20 slides on each side to make it sharp again. Use this technique guys ceramics are abbrasive can be used to sharpen steel blades anytime. Instead of buying blade sharpners use this trick. If you really really want an absolute soul cutter, I would suggest you buy a knife which is made from damascus steel. But if your budget is less and you want a good value for money cleaver, go for it.

Great for meats, potatoes and chopping. Be very careful though a little heavy handle and sharp enough to chop off your fingers... scary sharp. Comfortable and functional. So far no discoloration or rusting. Larger size and needs a magnetic strip for storage due to size and sharpness don't put this in a drawer for storage. very durable after many uses and washes. Hand wash recommend.

Great quality. Chopping has been lot easier after buying this butcher knife. Highly recommended!
