[@Stevefor1776]

Very disappointing review. They didn't acknowledge - and apparently didn't realize - that there are two vastly different types of cleavers: Slicers/dicers and bone choppers. The ones they were speaking of as being lighter and with sharper bevels are from the first group and shouldn't be used as choppers. Typically, they have different steel from the choppers, a steel that retains a better edge but is more brittle and chips easily. The failure to do full research makes me wonder about all their reviews. I've learned more about cleavers from KZbin comments on various cleavers than from this review. It's a revelation to see how many people condemn a good product designed for slicing and dicing because it chipped when they tried to chop a beef bone!

[@stevewebber707]

I do agree they over simplified, or missed some nuance. And the comment about the "Chinese meat cleaver" was just wrong. I'm guessing the Chinese cleaver he was thinking of is what's frequently called a vegetable cleaver, or Chinese chef's knife. Though from the appearance of the knife he pointed out, it looked like the profile of a meat cleaver. It might be ambiguous to some, because the Chinese chef's knife is used so ubiquitously, including for cutting meat. Though it is most definitely not designed to hack through bones. And it's further complicated because they make hybrid cleavers, that are somewhat between the two types. And I know that Chinese meat cleavers are not lighter and square, because I own one. And it bears much resemblance to a western cleaver. Classifications are never written in stone though, so a knife maker can call a knife whatever they want. Knife reviews are tricky because knives can be so subjective. I try and take all such reviews with a grain of salt. I'd prefer to give them some leeway on this one error, because the Chinese chef knife isn't a meat cleaver, and shouldn't even be included in this lineup. Vegetable cleavers are a category unto themselves. Although considering how useful it can be, they really ought to find some way of talking about it at some point. Perhaps when they do a Chinese themed show. And perhaps with a nod to Japanese nakiris, which have similar functionality, and seem to be getting more visibility recently. I do appreciate most of their reviews though, because they actually specify why something got a good or bad review. That puts it loads ahead of someone just saying "I like this, or I don't like that". And they certainly could have gone into more depth, but I'm sure they had time constraints, seeing as how it's a segment of a broadcast show. Which certainly does mean they can't go into as much detail as I 'd like in a thorough review.

[@lbdeuce]

i think the Old Hickory clever should have been included. Very inexpensive at 18 bucks, its 1095 steel responds extremely well to a few licks on the honing rod, and i find its form factor to be perfect intersection between ease of use and performance. i have 5 clevers, all but the old hickory are hand made, and if i was working a line i would prob opt for this over most that cost 5 times as much.

Well the one thing a cleaver would be good at is chopping the bone into smaller pieces for better brone both/stock. So I am looking for one for myself. I just recently started watching America's Test Kitchen. I tried to find some of the cleavers and you can't even find them...or they have went up big time in price since the recommendation.

[@rooky3526]

Yup, exactly the reason why I have a meat cleaver. Sure a chef's knife can pretty much do all the work that it needs to, but I happen to like my knives. So to prevent the edge worn down quickly from something like breaking apart a whole chicken or something similar...I have a meat cleaver specifically for that task. Let me tell ya, my knives stay sharper for way longer and I've enjoyed my meat cleaver ever since.

[@mullinsjd1975]

[@exfolios]

I was trying to split pork leg bones for soup(I'm asian, we eat stuff you throw away). I wasn't getting anywhere so I decided to give it a real heave. My cleaver split my chopping board in half and I was afraid I'd broke the granite countertop. Oh yeah, it's heavy. Use outside for bigger projects (like pig skulls).

A bit disappointed that there aren't many cleavers from Chinese brands such as the ever popular CCK. Many Chinese households and chefs use CCK cleavers as they carry different kinds, sizes, weight...etc Even chefs in Japan look to China and Taiwan for cleavers. The bladesmith for CCK have been making cleavers for decades and are inexpensive. The one made to cut through bone is $20 in China. You can get them in the USA prob around $50-70 after shipping.

[@russellwood8750]

All of those cleavers are just good for Cutting vegetables and poultry but there’s no way they’re cutting through pork and beef those cleavers are just way too light. They were just stick in the bone there’s nowhere near enough weight. And if you are going to do home butchery I recommend you use butcher knives and not your typical chef knives it’s a completely different scenario. There is a reason why every butcher on earth doesn’t use chef knives when they are doing the job. I’ve only recently got into butchery and have learned this lesson as a result I went out and got myself some butcher knives and a hired knife. They do make the job a lot easier so far I have done 4 geese ,8 chickens, 1 Turkey, 1 deer, 1 Lamb, 2 pigs, and half a side of beef. Learning absolutely loads and it does make a huge difference to your cooking specially when you know exactly where the gradients are coming from I started to do my own Salt curing and smoking to, loving it.

[@lisagrace6471]

Can you please share what cleaver you got?

[@russellwood8750]

@@lisagrace6471 hi Lisa absolutely. I have a few different cleavers. One I use for vegetables another one I use for fish and chicken and my third one I use on meat like beef pork . I am assuming that is the one you want to know about. It is an OMCAN professional grade premium quality steel. The length of the blade is a little bit more than 10" and the handle is a 7 1/2" , it weighs 2 lb 7 oz so it has a nice little bit of weight to help you chop through most things. There are more expensive cleavers on the market absolutely but it is affordable to buy replacements from there equipment butcher store and it's what a lot of commercial butchers will use. I like the length of the handle too as I can hold towards the end of it enabling me to apply more chopping Force without having to swing it like a maniac. But I would make a note to people who started butchering their own meats. cleavers are great at cutting true some bones and in between the joints. But I would also recommend a bone saw to people, they are not overly expensive and once you cut the meat clear to the Bone you can then cut through with relative ease they look a little bit like a large hacksaw. I have probably over answered your question but if I haven't and missed something let me know.

I butcher several deer every year and almost never use one of these things. I found that a pair of pruning loppers, a butcher’s saw, and a good sharp Victorinox (6” curved semi flex!!) will get the job done. Occasionally I use a heavy Chinese cleaver to smash through bones, but not very often.

I do tend to wonder who really needs meat cleavers. I have one my father picked up, and personally I have little use for it. Though admittedly I'm not butchering whole animals like you. But my impression is that butcher shops rely on saws for bones. I'm wondering if these meat cleavers are becoming anachronistic. Or if they're trying to appeal to a macho sort of consumer. I suppose some of it may be that we're more used to boneless cuts these days. I've seen Chinese chicken dishes with chunks of chicken hacked up bones and all. But many people in this country would be turned off by picking so many bones out of their mouth.

[@dwightmansburden7722]

@@stevewebber707 most professional butchers use saws, in fact. I just purchased a couple (handsaw and sawzall with meat blade), and hopefully they will come in handy when I butcher hogs this fall. Cleavers are pretty useful for chopping chicken and sectioning crab/lobster, but it’s very much a learned skill. It’s way too easy to miss and really goof up. The main use I see for a cleaver is to chop up cooked meat, like barbecue.

(One still might consider reviews elsewhere.) Some products merit the price, and (usually) Williams-Sonoma focuses on such higher-end (and priced) products. At least America's Test Kitchen suggest cheaper options. (They could have suggested a 'Takeshi Saji R-2' Chinese Cleaver with a Black Linen Micarta handle option.) Much more affordable options (preferred by some) is a $29 Xin Rongda 310-Millimeter Cai Dao Knife (search for Xin Rongda 45294475073) or an Ontario Knife 'Old Hickory 76-7" (Carbon Steel, that will rust if not cared for) Cleaver' for around $20.

You should actually do a chinese chef's knife test. These are cleavers not chinese chef's knifes. This is way to thick for anything but cleaving, but to hard (59 hrc) to split bone. The test is also designed poorly. There are knifes that are inbetween a vegetable cleaver and a bone cleaver that are design for chicken / duck / lobsters but still function fairly well as normal knifes (20-25° bevel) but you did not test any of those. You tested cleavers that are way to thick which would be good for splitting bigger bones if they did not lack the weight to do so. I bet the cheap and easy chan chi kee KF1901 would have wiped the floor with any of these.
