Review: it's nice but came dull - expected a nice sharp knife but was dull after i sharpen this thang to razor edge.... absolutely love this cleaver! the weight cuts thru anything this thing is a beast at stew meat.
Review: Outstanding clever! - I am a big fan of the Dexter Russell brand of knives. I have six that I use daily and have nothing but praise for them. I decided to buy this clever, and I’m so glad I did. I slow smoke barbecue a few times each week, all types of meats. This clever is sturdy, and was sharp enough right out of the box to smoothly cut pork ribs and chop pork and chicken for sandwiches. Excellent product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding clever!
*by J***M on June 14, 2019*

I am a big fan of the Dexter Russell brand of knives. I have six that I use daily and have nothing but praise for them. I decided to buy this clever, and I’m so glad I did.

Excellent product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ solid inexpensive meat cleaver
*by J***N on March 24, 2022*

I've been using this thing for about two years now, and I like it. It's big and heavy, has a good shape, and an ergonomic handle that is not slippery even when wet. I mainly use it to take apart chicken wings and other smallish stuff, and it does the job well as long as I keep it sharp. It is what it is, as annoying as that sounds. It's not a $400 carbon steel hand made cleaver with a walnut handle, it's a commercial grade cheap stainless cleaver that you can bang around and not worry too much about. So, if you want a beautiful piece that you can pamper and show off, this isn't it. But if you just want to chop through some junk and you don't want to worry about the damage that might do to one of your nicer knives, this thing will do the job. I treat my knives well, but I haven't taken any special care of this one. I don't leave it out in the yard in the rain or anything, but I don't clean/dry/oil it after every use either. It's solid. If it breaks or something I'll update this review, but so far It's holding up fine for me. Would buy again.
