   Very sturdy, solid knife. I like the fact that it s one piece of steel from the blade through the handle. It s very well balanced, and the height adds a bit of leverage enabling you to chop vegetables/meat with ease and speed. I also love the finish of the handle. This is a lot of value for the money. People are paying twice as much on other sites for the same knife. EXTREMELY sharp out of the box. Even still, I sharpened it slightly before I used it for the first time...I think it might cut through a lightsaber!

   This is a great knife. First task out of the box was to split an oven roaster chicken. Did this with ease. The knife has a nice weight (and razor edge) and when right through the chicken bones. The very next task was to finely chop fresh herbs for said chicken...again excellent control. The handle is well attached and the black patina from the heat treatment gives the knife an old world look. My family raises and butchers chicken and beef. This knife will get a workout. I'll review it in six months and give an update.

   First off let me say sorry to all the people who didn’t like this knife, I think it’s awesome! Very sharp and I really like how the blade is thick at the top then gets narrow on the blade edge. I used it on a semi-frozen chuck roast and it sliced like butter! But...understand that it’s a high carbon steel not stainless. It’s considerably more brittle than stainless because it’s harder. Don’t drop it and don’t use it to pry things apart! (Like meat frozen together) use it for what it’s intended and you’ll be completely satisfied!

   I had ordered three other knives directly from so-called company for twice or even almost three times the amount here. I saw no difference in quality or craftmanship. Most likely all made in the same place (China) and branded by different companies. If you are serious about cutting meat these types of knives are the ones to get. Great balance and durability for the price. No need to get a specific brand or marketing gimmicks Forged high carbon steel, Viking, Caveman etc. I used this one for chopping up my carne asada (Flap meat).

   Ever since I watched a camping video of a guy cooking outside and chopping up stuff with this type of knife, I wanted one. ALWAYS check the deals box when you look to buy something and here's why. When I first looked into this type of a knife I saw prices that were way above what I ended up paying for this model. The knife is sharp and well balanced. I can pretty much do anything with this knife: slice, dice, chop, skin..I bet I could lay brick and mortar with it. The important thing is to clean and hand dry your knife when you are done..jj

   This knife with its weight distribution, solid handle and ease of handling can cut through so many things as though they were butter. I have used it extensively on slightly still frozen meats that again to my amazement slices right through them. I can then marinate the meat pieces while still slightly frozen. When cutting veggies and fruit the super breadth of the knife makes for ease of scooping and transferring either to your bowl or into the wok, pan or whatever you are using. Incredible value! Its also a "handsome" knife and seriously performs better than advertised!

   Very great price for this knife. I inspected it when it arrived because I had seen some reviews saying the knife did not arrive in good condition. Out of the box I did not notice any bowing and the knife was quite sharp; it did have a bit of oil on it still, but after a quick wash it was ready to use. It cuts vegetables with ease and carves steak well (the product description does not recommend using this knife against bone so I did not test that aspect even though it is quite a heavy cleaver.) Very ergonomic I found it fit comfortably in my hands during use despite its heft. For the price, I would definitely recommend this product.

   It’s decent heavy knife I love cutting,chopping, slicing, it does it all sharp blade
   
   It’s great after cutting stuff to scooping veggies onto the knife and taking them straight to the pan
   
   I’ve noticed myself cutting better, thinner, straighter, less effort out of my hand and more of the knife doing the work
   
   The sheath is very nice I wouldn’t say it’s the best but built well has thicker edges to fit the blade.
   
   Knife cleans up real easy stuff does not really stick to it
   
   Overall pretty damn good knife originally I got this for camping and hunting knife, a all in one knife As I would best describe it. but know I’m using it everyday in the kitchen and will probably get a second one so I don’t forget it

   This knife is a heavy cleaver that comes very sharp out of the box and cuts like crazy! The heft of the knife can be a bit tiresome but the handle is very comfortable so the tradeoff is worth it. It cuts through potatoes, carrots, and everything else with ease. The sheath it comes with is mediocre but honestly, I wouldn't want to wear it on my belt because as I said, it is hefty! I absolutely love this knife and thought seriously about getting one for each of my brothers for Christmas but it comes factory direct so darn sharp I'm a little concerned about them hurting themselves! YES, it really comes that sharp! The only negative comment I have is, the blade needs TLC. After each use it must be washed then lightly coated with cooking oil so it will not rust. BUY ONE, you will NOT be disappointed!

   Beyond my expectations. This knife is a beast. It’s solid and heavy which helps chop and slice things easier. I don’t have to put all my strength into pushing down or sawing at a piece of meat. It’s super sharp and I was a little intimidated at first because I’m kind of accident prone and was afraid I might chop my finger tips off. The sheath is great. It looks and feels well made. The only minor complaint I have is that you have to clean and dry it immediately after use. I had set it aside to wash along with the rest of the dishes later in the day and some discoloration had appeared on the blade. My husband says it was rust but I don’t think it was. Cleaned and dried it and it’s fine now but we don’t let it sit with the other dishes anymore. I think with the right care this could be a lifetime knife.
