Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a nice cleaver, but it is a tad small for all around work. I used one for a while, and prefer the 5 star cleaver. I wrote this review because someone said that the only difference between the 4 and 5 star is the handle. Not so. Catalog pictures reveal a similar profile, but the 5 star is a 6" cleaver, while the 4 star is a 5" cleaver. The extra inch makes a huge difference. It can tackle larger jobs, yet does the smaller ones with less effort, and better control. I know that the 5 star description says 7" length, but that is not the blade length. It is 6". Trust me. Also, the 4 star cleaver advertises the use of the multi alloy, sintered (powdered steel pressed into a single mass) construction that is supposed to offer good edge quality while allowing for less labor intensive production, while the 5 star cleaver is made of a single forging of their premium "ice hardened" Friodur steel. Maybe it doesn't matter, but the top line still seems to prefer the fine characteristics of forged steel. Handle style is a personal choice. I prefer the 5 star handle for comfort and control, but some will prefer the other.
I just wanted to set the record straight, and let prospective buyers know that there are real differences between the 4 and 5 star cleavers. Some people might need a larger one, but I have never met anyone who would give up a 6" cleaver for a 5" model. It's a cleaver, not a slicer. Even if you are just preparing wings for the fryer, you will appreciate the difference.

A formidable tool, the cleaver blade is thick, inflexible, heavy and forwardly weighted. Tough enough to chop through joints and bones.
