Product Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Experience confidence with each cut. The Henckels CLASSIC 6" Meat Cleaver boasts a precision, fine-edge blade that is honed for long-lasting sharpness. Perfect for prepping large pieces of meat, the broad, rectangular blade also slices through bones so you can break down chicken and portion pork loin effortlessly.With a seamless transition from blade to handle, the knives' fully forged construction provides balance as the traditional triple-rivet handles encourage tireless cutting.Henckels makes essential kitchen tools every home chef needs. From steak knives to spatulas, every product boasts high quality at an exceptional value. Created in 1895 by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, this value-driven brand guarantees the same durability, design and ease of use for which the global company is known. Equip your kitchen with expertise with Henckels. AMAZON.COM Quickly reduce a cooked chicken or duck to bite-size pieces with this instrument. Or use it to butcher any kind of meat or poultry. It's heavy, the way a cleaver should be, so it does the work for you. The blade has a hole in its top corner so it may be hung on a hook or peg. Henckels' International Classic is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than the company's home of Germany. The steel is of lesser quality than that used in its premier lines. Also, the handles are narrower and shallower--a feature those with small hands might appreciate. While this cleaver is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

True to its Zwilling heritage this cleaver is fantastic. The weight and heft are superb. And it is made in Spain - not China! A great product at a super price.

High quality. Lets you get a good grip. Nice weight; not too heavy but heavy enough to do the job and keep you reminded that this thing means business and be careful.

Comfortable grip and good heft. Used it to split corn cobs and it did well with both swinging and pushing it through once set in position.

This one cost extra as it's made in Spain vs. China, you can tell by the hole in the blade, and it forged better I guess? Didn't buy the cheaper one to compare but figured the extra price wouldn't hurt as I feel this is a "buy it for life" knife.

I have used the 6 inch clever for about a week now and very happy it. It is very sharp. Feels very solid in your hands, yes it has a little weight to it but that just helps with the cutting, as its so sharp. The only disappointing thing about it was , the is no edge protector, when you want to put it way. Would have been nice to have with it, maybe with their future sales they should include a edge protector.

From very long past experience with many Henckels Classics, it's exactly what I expected: super sharp, well-balanced, and comfortable to hold. Super sturdy, clean, and handles well. I primarily bought it for large jobs like heads of cabbage, full-sized fish, large cuts of meat, frozen foods, and so on. Have even used it to chop pork ribs into smaller pieces for my dogs. Have to hit harder than expected, but it cut them cleanly. Love, love, love Henckels Classic! They hold an edge well and are always a joy to use. My only problem is that my knife block is already full, so had to move the carving knife and carving fork to make room for this new gem!

This cleaver is sharp which is what I and wife like. Very easy to cut meat. It feels the sturdy and enough mass on hand to cut and chop stuffs. However, the size is little bit shorter than I expected which is not a big deals since our hands are not big. Another thing needs to be aware. My wife always uses one hand to press the cleaver to chop bone. She got cut a couple time because the top of the cleaver is sharp also. You need to put something to cover it if you press the top. Other than that, I recommend this cleaver.

Just used it for the first time the other night; it was a sheer joy to use! Can't comment on how long it holds its edge, since I just started using it, but the weight and balance of the blade and handle is perfect. I used it to crush garlic, dice tough daikon radish, and slice through fried aburage tofu. It crushed, diced, and sliced beautifully.I was concerned about the weight of this when I ordered it, since I'm not that big or strong and consequently struggle with heavy or unwieldy kitchen apparatus. But it feels PERFECT. It's just light enough so I can flourish it about on the chopping board like I would my smaller long bladed kitchen knife, but heavy enough so that the weight of it was perfect for crushing garlic for flavor when I turned it on its side. The handle has a comfortable grip, with no fear of accidentally slipping or dropping when grabbing it.All in all, extremely worth the price, highly recommended if you are serious about cooking and/or intend to do a lot of Asian (especially Chinese) cooking.
