TUO Cleaver 7" - Black Hawk-S Series

I ordered this and its Kiritsuke counterpart as a bundle. Pleasantly surprised at what I received! I looked for flaws that had been mentioned in a few of the reviews, and found none! I love to cook, and these two knives should help make things go faster, and easier. I cannot comment on the edge durability as of yet, but will say they are both very sharp. I used the Kiritsuke to make short work of a large seedless watermelon the very next day. Quartered & sliced effortlessly. Used my filleting knife to lose the rinds for more compact packing, and easier eating. I own a set of Henkels, and find these comparable. I should get a good feel for the cleaver when I make my next batch of cat food. At this point, I would recommend buying them. There is a lot of marketing hype when it comes to knife brands, these are well priced, and the quality is there! I intend to buy a couple more. I will update if necessary. **UPDATE** I made 8 lbs of ground up chicken and Turkey cat food this morning. I put the frozen boneless thighs in a cooler yesterday for defrosting. Today they were about 40% defrosted. The cleaver cut through the somewhat frozen thighs and the defrosted meat like a razor. I cut it all into 1" pieces for the food processor. I was not chopping, but slicing thru everything. It was effortless!!!! Had it all cubed in 5 + minutes. I am getting to love these two knives! **Another Update** As a gift I ordered another of the heavier cleaver and the Kiritsuki for my brother and sister in law. They do a lot of entertaining, and food prep. My brother also makes his own jerky year round. They love these knives! A year later another gift of the boning and birds beak paring knives, also a big hit. I purchased my 1st ones over 2 years ago, and they get regular use. I insist on using sharp knives, as they are safer. I have sharpened mine maybe 3 times over the 2+ years. I also hand wash. All of them, including the gifted knives are holding up extremily well with minimal maintenence. I'm getting ready to order the steak knife set without hesitation.

I bought this to shred meat that had already been cooked and taken off the bone. If you've ever watched a restaurant cook shred beef or pork, you've seen them use (usually two) cleavers almost exactly like this one. The job can be done with a standard cooks knife but this cleaver makes much quicker work of it. The sharpness as delivered. I am extremely choosy about a knife's edge, and some knives I regrind a bit before using. I did not feel the need to do that with this one. Just a few passes on a steel at a steep angle. But for everyone else it's the sharpest ever. I would absolutely use it to chop vegetables and just about anything else that doesn't have metal or bones in it. Upon close examination, I could see a few light grinding marks and feel a bit of a burr on one side, but only gave it a quick pass or two on a steel. This is a good weight. Not too heavy yet with enough weight to work nicely. It's inexpensive yet not "cheap." So it is now added to my formerly sparse collection of regularly used knives, only having 4 total though only one is used every day.

This is a pretty great cleaver. Not quite heavy enough for chopping bone but great for almost anything else. My only complaint is the craftmanship of the handle. Way over sanded/ buffed so that ALL METAL is exposed to your hand. It left sharp tang and rivet edges.

The TUO Cleaver Knife is a culinary powerhouse! Its 7-inch high carbon stainless steel blade effortlessly handles vegetables and meats. The precision and sharpness make cooking a joy. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip. A must-have for any kitchen – TUO delivers quality and performance in every slice!

The fit and feel of this knife is incredible and as sharp as a razor!
