TIVOLI Meat Cleaver Knife, Hand Forged Full Tang Butcher Knife with Sheath

Exceptional quality. My husband loves this knife. He said it’s very well balanced and the weight of it is perfect. Very sharp and good grip. The sheath is high quality and is so pretty.

This is the best knife I've used in years. It's heavy, incredibly sharp, ergonomically friendly, and you can both see and feel the quality of the product. Cuts through meat with no effort on my part. Comes with a leather sheath that is thick and sturdy to protect the blade. I definitely recommend this product.

Awesome looking, versatile, and comfortable. I use it primarily for meats, works great for prepping or carving thick steaks, venison, and whole chickens, but also very practical for large veggies The handle is perfectly aligned, so there are no sharp or uncomfortable edges where there shouldn't be, which I can't say for all of their knives. This one also looks amazing displayed on a magnet board when not in use. Pleased with this purchase.

I ordered 2, one for husband, one for our son: Christmas gifts. Both are very happy with them. Love the design, weight and holster.

Nice knife but not half as sharp as I expected. Good quality metal

I have had this knife for several months now. It is now the only knife i use in the kitchen. Replaced a very nice butcher knife and a paring knife. Holds a sharp edge a cuts meat like butter. Liked it so much i sent one to my best friend.

TIVOLI Meat Cleaver Knife, Hand Forged Full Tang Butcher knife for Meat Cutting, High Carbon Was not really looking for this cleaver style of knife at the time, but really liked the curvature for rocking cuts and liked higher carbon. I ended up buying one for myself and my neighbor for Christmas. She is a chef and was very happy. I will say there is a learning curve to maximize its use. It is thick blade and can get heavy if only holding by the handle. I go back and forth between handle and using the finger hole for more finer work. Rocking and forward push cuts are easy and fun to use -curvature is great. Chopped veggies you will appreciate the extra weight, just watch your fingers. I don't think it will be as forgiving as a normal kitchen knife and you might have extra protein in your meal that night along with hospital bill. The blade is thick so fine slicing of onion or tomato requires just the slightest sideward cant. Not much but noticeable once you see/feel the cuts. The sharp pointed tip comes in handy now and then. Does wonders on meat products, unless again trying to do thin slices you might need that slight side cant. Although for me it does not completely replace my regular straight clever, but it does have quite a few uses that the cleaver can't do very well. With so much carbon it does need to be washed and dried shortly after use. Though I have not seen any sign of rust yet. I keep a little eyedrop bottle with some mineral oil on window sill and spread a few drops to each side with my finger before I put it back in sheath. I also saturated inside of sheath with mineral oil. Best attribute is that I literally have fun using this knife and learning it. My neighbor chef said the same thing and that this configuration type was not taught at her culinary school but has some potential technique to be explored. We are very happy with purchase.
