### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***S on 24 July 2022*

Let me start by saying their biggest single mistake is calling this a cleaver as well as a chefs knife. This is a chefs knife. It is absolutely not a cleaver. If you use this as a cleaver, which means using powerful hit against a butchers block, you will damage the knife if not chip it. #1 it’s light #2 it’s thin. Those alone make for a terrible cleaver. It’s not a cleaver. You can’t put a hang hole on a knife and call it a cleaver. It is however a beautiful, very sharp, light, balanced chefs knife. It’s amazing. It’s comfortable. It’s everything a chefs knife should be. Thick base for your thumb, weight distribution is excellent. Incredibly sharp. I give it 5 starts as a chefs knife. I’d give it 1 for a cleaver. It’s not a cleaver so they messed up calling it one. Regardless, beautiful chefs knife. Highly recommend this CHEFS knife.
