## Description

Great prices on your favourite Home brands, and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Sturdy, comfortable, and good at cutting. What else could I ask for - Amazing cleaver. It holds its edge well even when used on different surfaces, the blade is easy to clean and sharpen with a whetstone. It feels very sturdy to hold and is the perfect size for a home chef’s cleaver. It does not look like anything super special, but it is worth its weight and definitely holds up against the competition as it is comfortable to use and I have no worries about accidentally damaging it. I recommend to everyone who needs to cut a lot of meat or veg as it speeds the process up amazingly.
Review: Wow just wow - Never owning a proper meat clever before, this has to be something to behold! ask me why? Well, firstly the price for the quality. It cost me 17 pounds sterling for a solid piece that feels of a great quality about it in everyway. Revisiting the price on desertcart to buy another for someone else it had been further reduced to a little over 13 pounds, I scratch my head and wonder. It's an endorsed meat clever by Ken Hom who is one of the most exceptional Chefs of all East Asian cuisine, hubris and wise but a great embassador for that sort of food. The clever has a great handle, it blends nicely and is not of natural wood but who seriously cares when you feel the quality knowing that this handle will not break or crack and feels lovely when chopping meats/veggies and anything else. It's super sharp and like any fantastic clever it will slowly wear itself millimetre by millimetre as you sharpen it time and time again. One massive hint is to sharpen the blade off the back of most plates and certain stlye bowls never needing a purpose built knife sharpener or stone. For £13-£17 this should last at least a good 7 years from constant sharpening and wearing down the clever until it's too small to effectively use, 10 out of 10 for being a perfect clever in literally any situation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this knife cut through frozen meat?**
A: Yes it can but you need to be very careful and very skilled using a cleaver as with most frozen meat it could glance off leading to serious injury!

**Q: Can this cut through bone? Like oxtail?**
A: I haven't tried cutting through bone, but I am sure its good enough. I'm very pleased so far with its quality. Be careful they are very sharp

**Q: Will this cleaver cleave a sweet potato in half on one go?**
A: Yes it can

**Q: What is the actual length of the cutting edge and overall length of the chopper, including handle**
A: Hi, I didn't end up buying the chopper, so can't help I am afraid. I got one from Lakeland as I was able to handle it and feel the balance. Regards.
