Wusthof Classic Cleavers

Perfect for breaking down larger cuts of meat, this heavy German cleaver is designed to cut through bone. Its finely honed high-carbon-steel blade works equally well for chopping and mincing tough vegetables. Knife is precision forged from a single piece of sturdy high-carbon steel that resists stains and corrosion. Heavy razor-sharp blade is designed for both heavy-duty and precision cutting. Full tang is triple riveted to the handle for exceptional durability. Polypropylene handle is contoured for a comfortable grip. 6"-long blade, 5 1/4"-long handle; 1 lb. 4 oz. Made in Germany.

GREAT Cleaver!
July 14, 2010
I bought the Wusthoff after breaking the blade on a lesser cleaver, and it's been a wonderful addition to my cutlery collection. Designed for hard use, it does everything it's supposed to!
I've read comments about the blade being "dull," or needing sharpening. A cleaver should not be sharp; it's purpose is chopping and crushing (even bones), and for that the Wusthoff is without a doubt the best I've used!

Disappointingly Dull
June 8, 2010
What a let down for such an expensive knife. Sure expected more from Wusthof. Sturdy, but better cleavers are out there. I'm taking it back and hope I can get a refund.

great knife for big jobs
June 25, 2009
I bought this clever a year and a half ago. Used it once in awhile till I had a very big party for my grand-daughter's graduation, we BBQ 30 lbs of Tri tip and 10 whole chickens which were halved and this clever worked like a work horse. Used it to cut out the back bone of every chicken and once they were BBQ it was used to cut into pieces. I'm going to buy one for my guy who did all the cooking, he loved it.

Blade is DULL
February 16, 2009
Beautiful knife, nice weight, but unlike the discription this knife needs to be sharpened...comes dull! I'm sure once we get it sharpened it will be a 5-star knife, but until then...kind of a disappointment.
