Review: Awesome cleaver for a very affordable price - Awesome cleaver for a very affordable price. The original factory machine work is a little coarse. The factory edge is a coarse grind and had a large burr. I used my Wicked Edge sharpening system to put on a nice edge. Now it really performs. The carbon steel used in the cleaver is tempered to be very hard and tough. Took quite awhile to grind the desired edge. Once you finally get a good edge on it, this is one brutally tough cleaver. Smashes right through large beef, pork, and turkey bones with ease. Doesn't phase the sharpening job. The heavy coarse carbon steel doesn't take a real fine edge for fine carving chores, but still slices very well. Since it is carbon steel, you need to keep it washed and dry to prevent rust. If you want one tough cleaver that is designed to cut through most anything, this is the one to buy.
Review: Good quality, Made in USA - I don't have a ton of experience with a cleaver, but purchased this one pretty much specifically to cut up whole chickens when I make broth. I cut the chickens up as I normally would, using a chefs or boning knife and poultry shears before using this guy to chop it down into the smaller pieces that I'm looking for. It certainly works very well for that. It' has "USA" stamped on the handle and appears to be of very good quality. The blade may be stainless but it definitely will stain, and it may be an uphill battle to keep that from happening. I always wash and dry my cutlery very promptly after use, but that's not enough for this thing. The stains don't bother me and I don't intend to go out of my way to prevent them. So far, I'm completely satisfied with this purchase.
