Review: Awesome. WAY better than I expected. - This is best $10 I have ever spent on a knife. (Update, you can do better...) Better bang for the buck than many nice, upmarket knives I have picked up, or any of the many Japanese knives I have bought this year - and I have spent at least $1500 on knives. I am a professional cook, and I have several sets of knives at home and for taking to work. While this is in a completely different league than a Japanese steel knife (or even a fancy German knife), this one is not at all about the steel. I think it's perfect for a line knife. It really is perfect, the profile is great, and it's simple enough to be a good tool. It's so cheap you can really use it. Unlike aogami super, you can leave it out - wet, whatever. Though everyone will think you paid much more. The wooden handle is not ideal for the Sani but I run it. You won't get mad at anyone who picks this up, and it is beautiful enough that they will. At my work we have nakiris from Mercer, Wustof, Miyabi, a bunch of santokus from fancy brands, house knives, and personal knives with nice steel like VG-10, MBS-26 or knives from MAC and other Japanese manufacturers. While the grain of this steel seems nice, it is not hard or wear resistant, it is very tough and German style. It's will take a 1200-2000 grit edge and stay sharp through a prep session. If you are caught up in Shun marketing, or want a Japanese laser, don't buy this. The steel in this knife is Chinese garbage and it definitely won't hold a fine edge even through a bag of Brussels sprouts. That said, its price is less than the labor I would charge someone to sharpen most knives. Especially compared to harder steel this has low edge retention, but it is perfect for anyone who knows how to use a ceramic sharpening rod. This cheap steel will punch way above its weight class if you're willing to hone a knife as part of your mise en place. If you sharpen your knives all the time and are looking for a nakiri, you'll love this. You won't ever worry about chipping, you can re-profile the edge in a few minutes, and it will get razor sharp very quickly. If you don't sharpen don't bother, it will get very dull very quick and you'll have no fun. I would say it's profile is almost identical to the cheap mercer nakiris. Best $10 Nakiri out there. The best knife out there, dollar for dollar, would probably be a Mercer.
Review: Very pleased. - I am a current owner and daily user of very high end Japanese nakiris. I saw someone using this knife while cooking something about it interested me so I looked it up to find reviews. I could not find very many useful reviews. Due to the extremely low price I figured why not? Got this recognizing that it is a ~$10 knife. I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with this knife. It arrived very sharp. Granted it is not at the level of a very high end knife but it is also does not cost over $200. It does everything a standard home cooking level chef would want. It's solid, sharp, very well balanced (surprised at that), and easy to care for (basically none). I use it exclusively for rough chopping vegetables and have not had to sharpen it yet so I cannot comment on longevity or sharpening ability. However for what it costs to have one of my other knives sharpened you could just buy another. If you want to test out a nakiri for first time, or simply want a good inexpensive nakiri to bang around, get this. I often find myself reaching for this if I simply just have to rough chop some veg or if someone else is going to I hand them this (they break it, not expensive loss). If you have the skill and money you probably already own a high end knife. If not, get this and you will not regret it. It is also nice to have separate veg and meat knives. This knife will cut with ease but do not expect it to slice down to paper-thing levels, then again it's cheaper than the tax on knives that will.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this chopper be used to cut beef bones & joints**
A: I wouldn't use this to chop through heavy bones. It's a chinese cleaver, basically for vegetables and chicken at most. You need a regular German or American heavy butchers cleaver to process beef, pork etc. Dexter makes a heavy cleaver which will chop heavier bones etc.

**Q: Is this cleaver made in the USA? If not, where?**
A: Lol a heavy chunk of stainless steel, let alone created into a meat cleaver, would cost a lot more than $10 if made in USA

**Q: How much does this cleaver weigh?**
A: Just weighed it on kitchen scale (14.5 ounces).  I would have guessed twice that.  I use it for breaking up chicken carcasses for stock.....about 20 a week.  Plenty heavy for that job.  Hope that helps.

**Q: How to sharpen**
A: You can sharpen like a regular knife. You can use a file or a stone to sharpen. I use a belt sander but even a universal sharpener will work

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good blade, so-so wooden handle.
*by G***K on May 17, 2020*

Overall a good cleaver for kitchen use. I haven’t tried chopping leg bones or whacking zombies or running it over with a car so I can’t speak to that. I use it for light/medium kitchen duty and it does well. It has a nice large blade, holds an edge as well as most knives and will break a log of frozen ground meat (after scoring it) while being whacked with a rubber mallet. My only complaint was the finish and quality of the wooden handle. It was rough and had a poor coat (or none at all). My wife may have slapped it in the dishwasher too which didn’t help. After sanding and sealing with a drying oil I expect it to be much better. Rivets are holding up fine for me. Excellent for the price (cheapest(?) on amazon) especially if you can deal with an imperfect handle. No issues with the blade and for $10 I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.
