ZWILLING TWIN Gourmet Classic 5 1/2-inch Meat Cleaver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased the cleaver to go with our existing set, and my husband loves it. First time we owned a meat cleaver, it is unknown how we survived without one. Quality is outstanding for the price. Once received it felt as though we got an amazing deal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is just the right weight and sharpness for splitting chickens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to build out a block my dad has. I used it and was pleasantly surprised by the weight of it.

Great addition to the knife block! We bought this to add to the matching knife block and it is a heavy but small cleaver. It’s perfect for a home cook.

This is a great cleaver. The German steel and Spanish construction make a strong sharp blade. So many cleavers rely on heft to cut through but this one gives great results from its quality. The blade is very sharp and stays sharp for a long time. When it comes time to resharpen the high carbon content makes it very easy to do so. The handle is comfortable and gives me confidence in my grip.

This meat cleaver is not as heavy as most but will do the job on chicken and smaller bones. The handle is designed to give the most effective transfer of energy.

Cleavers are wonderful for cut up whole chickens, chicken wings, and ribs. Great addition to any kitchen. This Gourmet cleaver has a good weight and a sturdy handle.

A stamped construction from Spain, this is a great mixture of a lightweight knife with quality and affordability. It will do the work for you with its' sharp blade and will not disappoint.

A meat cleaver may not be your most used knife but it is really great to have the right tool for the job when you need one. Not only is it good for piecing chicken and cutting large pieces of meat but it also works well for chopping tough vegetables or large heads of lettuce. Dicing and scooping what you've diced into your cooking vessel is made easy with the flat broad blade.

A great tool for cutting meat from bone, when needed. We are not big meat eaters, but when we do, we eat chicken, turkey or duck or once awhile, ham. This cleaver works well for them all! Cuts right thru, with no problem. Made in Spain with the Friodur process so that means sharp edge and durable.

I use a cleaver for breaking down a chicken, not a task I do every day; so the cost of this makes it very appealing. It has a great weight and heft making it the perfect tool for chicken bones. The handle is comfortable and weighted well too; love the durability of the three rivets. Made from high carbon German steel, it stays really sharp.

This Meat Cleaver is made of ice hardened non-stain carbon steel. Don't have to use a cleaver often, but this is a good size and very durable.

Rock solid meat cleaver. Good with chicken and smaller pork and lamb bones, not good for full on butchery work. However, if you're looking for a good meat cleaver at an affordable price, you can't go wrong here. It is stamped from quality German steel and made in Solingen. Great workmanship on the full tang, triple riveted handle. I strongly recommend hand washing so it looks like new for as long as you own it.

Very sharp, durable blade. the wide body is awesome for smashing garlic and ginger. Handle is classic and comfortable.

Good weight, tough cleaver. Good for large jobs, or working with bones.

For a lighter weight cleaver, turn to this Gourmet Classic version. A comfortable grip and sharp blade make heavy duty prep tasks a little bit easier.

This is a really nice stamped Cleaver. The steel is really durable for a stamped knife since the high carbon stainless steel was ice hardened, helping give the knife a longer and sharper edge than most stamped blades. This is a large blade, great for chopping and slicing large pieces of meat, fruit, vegetables or fish. The handle really contours nicely in my hand as well. A great comparable knife if you like the look of the Zwilling Pro collection, but want a budget friendly price point.
