I’ve been using this brand for many years, and I’ve always had a great experience. This time I purchased one that was made in Germany, and I’m extremely satisfied with the quality. It feels very well-made and reliable. Highly recommended!

A glorious replacement
I have other “twin” Zwilling knives and when, sadly, my Sabatier cleaver of some 35 years ended up with a broken handle and dull edge, I knew exactly what would replace the poor thing. Cleaver is beautiful, functional and guaranteed! Yahoo

Great Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased the cleaver to go with our existing set, and my husband loves it. First time we owned a meat cleaver, it is unknown how we survived without one. Quality is outstanding for the price. Once received it felt as though we got an amazing deal.

Heavy Cleaver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to build out a block my dad has. I used it and was pleasantly surprised by the weight of it.

Great addition to the knife block
Great addition to the knife block! We bought this to add to the matching knife block and it is a heavy but small cleaver. It’s perfect for a home cook.

great cleaver
This is a great cleaver. The German steel and Spanish construction make a strong sharp blade. So many cleavers rely on heft to cut through but this one gives great results from its quality. The blade is very sharp and stays sharp for a long time. When it comes time to resharpen the high carbon content makes it very easy to do so. The handle is comfortable and gives me confidence in my grip.

This meat cleaver is not as heavy as most but will do the job on chicken and smaller bones. The handle is designed to give the most effective transfer of energy.

A meat cleaver may not be your most used knife but it is really great to have the right tool for the job when you need one. Not only is it good for piecing chicken and cutting large pieces of meat but it also works well for chopping tough vegetables or large heads of lettuce. Dicing and scooping what you've diced into your cooking vessel is made easy with the flat broad blade.

A great tool for cutting meat from bone, when needed. We are not big meat eaters, but when we do, we eat chicken, turkey or duck or once awhile, ham. This cleaver works well for them all! Cuts right thru, with no problem. Made in Spain with the Friodur process so that means sharp edge and durable.

Great Cleaver
I use a cleaver for breaking down a chicken, not a task I do every day; so the cost of this makes it very appealing. It has a great weight and heft making it the perfect tool for chicken bones. The handle is comfortable and weighted well too; love the durability of the three rivets. Made from high carbon German steel, it stays really sharp.

This Meat Cleaver is made of ice hardened non-stain carbon steel. Don't have to use a cleaver often, but this is a good size and very durable.

Extremely good value
Rock solid meat cleaver. Good with chicken and smaller pork and lamb bones, not good for full on butchery work. However, if you're looking for a good meat cleaver at an affordable price, you can't go wrong here. It is stamped from quality German steel and made in Solingen. Great workmanship on the full tang, triple riveted handle. I strongly recommend hand washing so it looks like new for as long as you own it.

Good meat cleaver for the price. Nicely weighted for cutting through bone with a secure feeling handle this knife can tackle any of those tough cooking projects. Made from stamped premium German steel this will hold it's edge for a very long time and resist chipping.
