DRAGON RIOT Hand Forged Cleaver Knife Bone Cutting 7 Inch High Carbon Steel Heavy Duty Meat Butcher Knife Full Tang Chef Knife for Kitchen or Restaurant

A great looking knife with premium performance. The finish on the blade and handle is excellent. It came nicely sharp and after a quick wash, I put it to use. The wide blade made ease of use as a bench scraper to move the onions from the chopping block to the pot. Cleaving the chicken was a sinch since the weight of the blade was just enough to cleave. The knife is not oversize, like many cleavers are. The overall performance is excellent, and it is impressive in appearance. I prefer the high carbon steel used due to its edge durability. Maintenance is no problem for those that take cooking as an art. Not only a great addition to the essential knife assortment but can be considered as a go-to knife for multi-purpose. Very, very pleased with this product.

Really good quality. Don’t hesitate to buy this. My husband love it as much as I do. The knives are super sharp and made the work very clean and neat.

Cuts through chicken bones like a hot butter through a knife, or well, the reverse is what i meant. Its heavy so it has weight to break it down for them to consume easily.

I bought the used 7" cleaver for $22 instead of new/$33, so this review is for the used cleaver. It looks brand new to me. This is a well made meat cleaver that I use with a rubber hammer to cut frozen meats (bacon slab, what ever). $3 Harbor Freight rubber mallet. The cleaver is very heavy duty but swinging it can be dangerous thus the rubber hammer (better control/safer). Place the cleaver on what you want to cut. Hit the top of the cleaver blade with the hammer. The blade is very heavy duty and is very high quality steel; very sharp! I did not rate 5-star because the rivets holding the wood handle together protrude slightly producing a rough hand surface. No big deal. I definitely recommend buying this knife, especially the used version if available.

Hello. Its not often I come across a great product that exceeded my expectations i have many knives as I am a collector and chief. You will not be disappointed. Super nice knife and the edge is very sharp from the start.

I love this knife, one if the few knifes im using for past few years still in great condition. of cource after use clean it up and dry right away just like any other knife, other way will rust.

Absolutely amazing knife, no corners cut on the design and durability!

Just received this knife and it has exceeded expectations. The fit and finish are quite good--better than expected. It is hefty (18oz.) with a pronounced blade forward balance. I bought this to save my finer blades from tasks they are not suited for e.g. winter squash, splitting bone, frozen foods etc. It's reasonably sharp out of the box given the intended use, should take a sharper edge easily. High carbon steel will stain/rust--this isn't a flaw--(certain acids or enzymes will instantly stain the blade), look into caring for the blade or you will be disappointed. Couldn't be happier, it's inexpensive, has great character and is well suited for its intended use.
