GlobalG-12-6 1/4" Meat Cleaver

Very pleased with the quality, balance, weight, and sharpness of this cleaver. Another great Global knife in my collection. It fits in my in-drawer knife block as well as my drawer. Very pleased.

Fantastic knife. Very , very sharp so take care! Cuts through everything. Highly recommend.

Not only is it beautiful, it is amazing to use. Feels great in my hand, it's very sharp, the weight is perfect, did I say beautiful! :) It's a pleasure to use and I love it!

Knives rust and they blame the consumer even though my other knives don’t rush.Save your money.

It's like having a surgical instrument in my kitchen. It's no joke. The quality of the workmanship is just so impressive, as are the balance and the style points. The clean up is easy but do give it time after a good wipe down , to let it air dry. I store mine on magnetic strips on the door of my pantry. My friends think it looks mid evil ... but I decided to purchase a gambit of prep , and sue knifes. With them all lined up it leaves geusts with the impression that I'm not the Chef to upset. Be very careful with this knife. I maintain it's razor sharp edge with a multiple set of grained wet stones, as my father taught me as did my Grandfathers. This knife may be passed along for generations as long as its maintained. I still saw dense bone just to protect it but it can part up a whole chicken in a flash. Enjoy. Lowell L King

Received this as a surprise from my husband to complete my kitchen knife set. This is a powerful tool--extremely sharp, nice heavy-weight, and a comfortable handle with good grip! This baby really does the job...cuts through meat with bones "like buttah" (would not recommend this for young, or amateur cooks). Excellent tool to have on hand for prepping chicken/beef parts for bone broth. One down side: I wish this would have come with some sort of blade guard or sheath, as it is too large to fit in my knife block and I have to store it in a drawer. I am now researching some sort of blade guard or sheath for storage purposes. We also purchased a small sharpener specifically for this cleaver. Would definitely recommend this cleaver...worth every penny!

This was a gift to my son. The first blade pitted immediately when it was washed (and it was not left to "soak"). It was replaced. The second one seems to be better.

I am cutting through whole chickens and chicken quarters(including bones) to make small enough pieces to put through a grinder for making raw food for my pets. My previous knife was similar to this but I figured out it was designed for vegetables. The handles of both are a similar shape which is very comfortable for my hands. I love the weight of this knife. It is very light compared to so many cleavers on the market. It is very sharp and it is taking less effort to get through the bones. I have only used it for a few hours but my hands are happier for doing so.
