I’ve Been Very Taken With Tojiro Knifes As A Whole , There Rarely Seen Or Mentioned Are Some Of There Higher End Lines, They Are Gorgeous!! Now For This Cleaver , GREAT VALUE!!! , This Cleaver was A Great Find , I Was Looking For A Cleaver To Add To My Growing Pile Of Kitchen Blades. It Fits A Really Neat Spot As Not Being Huge Nor Small , But It’s Own Spot , Heftyer Than It Looks And Terribly SHARP , It Had A Nice Bite To It ,Great Push Pull Cutting And Light Rocking , I Purposely Had Carrots , Celery, Potatoes, And Parsnips And Onions Ready To Decimate For A Salad And Stew I Was Concocting , It Was A Joy To Use On All Comers !! , It’s Smaller Size Fits My Wack Kitchen Dementions Wonderfully!!! It Wiped Off Easy With Warm Water And Little Soap On A Dish Towel . I Highly Recommend This Cleaver With Zero Reservations, Even If You Have A Cleaver Already , WHO Has Enough Knifes Anyway , U Should Get One , It’s A Great Addition To Your Kitchen Battery !! BD
