Review: よく切れます！使いやすいじゃがいもとか里芋の皮むきにはむかないです
Review: Not a Chinese style cleaver - I have been using the cleaver almost daily for the last 6 months so I thought I would write a review. The cleaver is extremely lightweight, sharp and fairly easy to clean. I use it as a bench scraper and to smash garlic and it holds up well (not recommended). The problem is it is very thin and the blade can chip easily. Def not your all-purpose Chinese style cleaver that can take the abuse of chopping or cutting through chicken bones. It can only be used for slicing and cutting. Just for your reference, larger fruits like melon/ pineapple work perfectly but it would be extremely difficult to cut open a pumpkin. I should add that the indentation on the knife does not make it non-stick. The blade gets dull after a while so I use a manual pull through knife sharpener. It is more convenient for daily maintenance as a home chef. But of course I'm aware it may not be the best for the knife and whetstones would be a much better option. Overall I enjoy it because it is inexpensive, lightweight and great for long hour kitchen work. Will need a different knife for other purposes other than slicing and cutting. Hope this helps!
