Questions & Answers

In two slots of a miracle blade knife block, it can be inserted.

Keeping a Chinese chief knife sharp is a problem for me as I have a Chicago Cutlery. There is no better steel than this. Is it possible for me to get it from a knife shop?

You should be able to keep its edge for several cuttings if the steel is good and you are sharpening it properly. The knife shop can tell you how to maintain a good edge on your knife as well as the quality of the steel.

In terms of "Height," what does the blade look like? Would you please confirm that the item is 3 inches tall as mentioned in the description?

Seeing as this brand is supposed to be a cleaver, I expected much more
3/5

Look closely at the attached images, and you can clearly see that both the blade and hinge have been smashed. This was all caused by cutting through a chicken breast. The shearing could have been caused by misuse, but the bend is an apparent sign of improper handling. Several of my knives are from this manufacturer and i'm very happy with them. The one I'm not happy with at all is this one. It will be the last one I buy for myself or any of my employees if the company doesn't make this right. Here's an update This manufacturer is refusing to respond to all our attempts to convince them to stand behind their product. They've decided to not respond at all after numerous requests. to reach you four times but never got a reply. I highly recommend you spend your money on a better product that you can trust. A company that specializes in products (like Usually, I don't write bad reviews, but in this case the complaint is justified. A UPDATED VERSION * It has been at least 20 attempts to contact the company, but I have not received a response. In my opinion, I was hoping that the manufacturer would eventually back its product, since apparently this is all they care about at this point.

The craftsmanship on this product is superb! It's best to have a good knife
5/5

The knife felt great in the hand, it had great weight and it was steel. What a great idea! It was not necessary to purchase this. It was a risk, but so glad I took!.

Almost too good to be true
5/5

Don't let this magnificent thing get away from you You have a sharp cleaver there! It only took me one slip over a greasy chicken for me to break the end of my knuckle. It's not meant to be funny, but this is something that I wouldn't want to live without. In the past few years, I've never bought chicken parts Birds are only killed in whole bodies and this weapon cuts through bones, joints, and skin effortlessly. The price I paid was top-notch When they were in short supply, I paid a buck for this, and I'm not sorry, but it would have been nice to save a bit of money.

It didn't seem as sharp as it should have been
3/5

For a couple months now, I've been on the hunt for a nice and reliable clever knife on Amazon, but so far I've not found it. I finally decided to cut my losses and spent a little more on a Shun clever knife instead of all the others I have bought. Knives that pass a test with cooked chicken bones are sharp enough for your basic tasks, but fails to perform well with raw chicken It may be more effective to buy a cheap, clever knife since all of these expensive models have not been up to my expectations.

For peeling fruits, veggies, and meat, this is my go-to knife
5/5

This is a strong and balanced article. It is so sharp and tall that I can slice without worrying about cutting my fingers (I love cutting with a blade this long). A knife/meat cleaver for cutting vegetables, fruit, and meat that I love.

The fingers are guarded against being knickered An onion chopper and a herb chopper, both of which have extremely sharp blades, were just purchased
5/5

In addition to wearing these gloves every time I handle any of these above items, I also use them to take in and out of the dishwasher, which makes me feel more secure. The blades of my fingers end up grabbing the surface of the blades when I'm assembling, cleaning, or arranging them in the dishwasher.

When working with large cuts or tasks with some prep work, this product works well
4/5

The gift I got was this. The handling of this device is excellent and I have used it several times. The knife has a good weight and a solid feel that allows it to be used to cut up large portions of meat. Due to my large hands, I would purchase a slightly larger size if I were to purchase again.
