Handmade Damascus Cleaver Knife - Meat Chopper, Damascus Butcher Knife, Chopper Knife 13 inch Heavy Duty Meat Cleaver Knife 5513

It does it's job well and very pretty while doing it.

Beautiful knife, but did come with a bit of rust. My husband picked up a smoker last spring and has become quite the cook. He picked up this knife from Amazon and we have loved adding it to our smoking/BBQing supplies. Took it to a family get together and everyone was a little envious. All in all, happy with it. May be purchasing other knives to add to our collection.

Came in early as expected , great quality knife and good looking also just what i need

I'll say right off the bat that there's a whole lot I do like about this cleaver... unfortunately, there were some things that really disappointed me and caused a lower rating.The good: The Damascus pattern is beautiful. The blade is really sharp too. Holding this thing in my hand, it feels substantial while being surprisingly comfortableto grip. It's just the right size. Did I mention that it's really sharp right out of the package?The bad: I realize that this is a hand made item and that imperfections go along with that... it's one of many hand made blades I've purchased and I have an appreciation for such things. Having said that, there are some things that shouldn't make it past quality control, like broken, cracked or poorly cut pieces of the handle. The handle itself is almost deliberately uneven to give it that hand made appearance. I can live with all of that and would give it at least 4 stars if that was the end of it, but an essential part of a great knife is its sheath. This is where the major disappointment kicks in. The sheath pictured is not the one I received... not even close. Here's the details on that: The sheath received is not one that can go on your belt. It isn't a nice rich brown color, it's an ugly orange. The shape and details are not as pictured. It is very poorly stitched with a horrible thin thread that is both coming loose and randomly tied off in various places... like the hipster putting it together was using thread remnants that were just lying around. It has two completely useless and poorly stitched, barely hanging on straps wrapping around it. The sheath is far too big for the knife. It just rattles around in there loosely. It looks and feels so cheap that I wonder if it's even leather. It's about as thrilling as sending your well raised kid to college and finding out after a year that they've turned into a smelly hipster. I couldn't be more disappointed in it. It's not what I was promised. It's not what I expected. The pictures make it look better than it is, much like the ones on a hipster mingle dating site. I don't think I could be any more whiney about it, so I'll shut up. The knife is flawed but beautiful. I'm not going to return it, but in going to see if they'll send me the sheath I bought, not the one from a mini mart display case that it was switched with. Seriously, even I know I should shut up about it now... I was just so excited about this thing. Sigh

Very sturdy and well made.

Love the craftsmanship sturdy too and solid definitely my new everyday knife

3.5 stars if i could, but when it comes down to it the positive from this blade is that its gorgeous an came with a decent edge, and was ready to wear right out of he box. Now comes the neg. The sheeth was bigger than the blade and is kinda bulky, when the knifes is inside it it moves alot and slides in and out when stored in the sheeth. The sheeth isnt as ornate as the ome in the picture but does the job. The only real negatice thing about the whole product is that there is a slight straight spot on the tip of the blade and althogh its sharp it isnt aesthetically pleasing
