This cleaver made life and meat prep seemingly effortless. I’m a massive, two decade long, henckels fan and this is yet another star tool!

I really liked the build and quality of the knife. Cuts through meat like butter. Cut poultry bones with much ease than cheaper cleaners. Hasn’t chipped or dented as if now so I feel its gonna hold up good

You can’t go wrong with this Classic meat cleaver. It’s heavy enough to chop through any bones but light enough that I can use it for large, hard vegetables. I have other knives in the Classic line and they are such an exceptional value. It’s as close as you can get to the knives made in Germany (made in Spain) at a fraction of the cost. They are definitely built to last a lifetime.

Balanced and not too heavy that you’ll have to take a break! Handle just curved enough to be comfortable after aggressive minutes of work

The weight of the cleaver and handle are comfortable when wielding the knife. There is no slippage when chopping. This knife is great for cutting up whole chickens. It cuts right through with no problems. Also great for chopped beef when we smoke a brisket.

The blade is thick and reliable. But the blade is not well finished as a new knife should be. However, this is easily fixed after some work with sharpening.

Just got my cleaver and I can’t wait to use to chop through my meats and their bones. I decided on this cleaver because I know the superior reputation that Henckels has and this cleaver was recommended by multiple websites.

The cleaver is nicely weighted, so it handles very well. It also holds an edge well.

Good cleaver for chopping and breaking down whole chickens, raw and cooked, pork and lamb bones at home. Very useful tool.I really like my Henckels Classic knives. I’ve had mine for 20 years. These knives are forged of quality steel with a full tang and a triple riveted handle, and a comfortable integrated bolster. Even if they aren’t made in Germany, the steel is, and their quality is unquestionable.

This clever is actually a really handy thing to have in the kitchen not only does it break bones but it can slice meat really thin and evenly. Also you can chop veggies easily as well. Highly recommend

We received this knife as a wedding gift. It has been a wonderful addition to our knife collection — it’s sturdy & heavy, able to cut through so much!

This is a handy knife to have for cutting up whole chicken, portioning meat or for tough vegetables like squash. The strong, broad blade is sharp and makes those tasks much easier.

Great cleaver. Nice weight, well made. Wish it had a self sharpening block that attaches to the 20 pc. block.
