Mueller Outstanding Ancient Forged Serbian Meat Cleaver Knife 6.7” Full Tang, High-Carbon Steel Chef Knife, Pakkawood Handle, Kitchen Knives, Set with Leather Sheath, Butcher

So I bought this knife after seeing videos of different people using it, and it seemed like a very versatile kitchen tool. The Appearance of it being a chopper, slicer, and the width of the blade to use it as a scooper for chopped products had me excited. This is a heavy knife, I mean it is listed as a cleaver. While heavy I find it to be well balanced and the weight does most of the work for you while chopping and slicing. The handle is comfortable in my hand and I have large hands, so it might be a bit much for someone with petite hands. It's very sharp right out of the box.my girlfriend sliced her finger, with just a slight tap of the blade against her finger. It chops and slices most items with ease, I literally was slicing through the cartilage of a rotisserie chicken and didn't even realize it. I got this during prime day, so I can only speak on the price I paid, 25.00 was an insane price for the blade I received. The leather sheath is thick leather and has a belt loop and a snap retention strap if you want to wear this on your belt. sturdiness of the product.... Well I'm going to say excellent as of right now, I've owned it less than a week, and I hate to say it's going to hold up to everything this soon. I've have chopped, diced, sliced and scooped with the knife and nothing has come loose yet. I'm a hand washer so I can't speak on the handle holding up to dishwashers and the heat cycles.

I’ve watched this knife for a while now. I saw a couple negative reviews about the handle problem and I guess they got a bad one (sorry.) but I’m delighted. This thing is heavy. Full tang and I’m talking thick metal. I might post some vids after but just know it cuts paper into shreds right out of the box. Shaved a few of my fingers too (yea, I’m Neanderthal lol). So far so good. I haven’t used it yet. I’ll update after I do. Oh - and the sheath is also very nice. I’m doing to douse it with Neatsfoot oil to soften it up. I always use Fiebings as an old go to for my leather goods.I can’t remember the last time I was so happy when I opened something. This is the real thing and you can’t beat the price.I know what didnii no expect for the price. But, I had my hopes up. No where in the ad did I see China mentioned. And as I take it outside to treat the sheath, on the end of the box is see: Made in China under license from Mueller Austria. Sad. Just very sad that everything seems to be the same.I’m an avid knife collector and I enjoy knives from all over the world. China is not on the list of high quality knives unless you’re talking a Takeshi Saji and I’m not dropping that kind of cash on a kitchen knife unless I win megabucks. lol So, we shall see. I have one other Chinese knife. But, I was aware of its origin before I bought it. It needs sharpening each time I use it. I hope this one can hold an edge.I treat this like my cast iron. Steamy hot water. No soap. Rinses off easily and then I coat with a light layer of avocado oil and hang it in the knife rack - not in a wood knife block. Allow it to air. No rust and still sharp as can be.

This knife is heavy, sturdy and surprisingly well balanced for its price. It cuts through food quickly and easily. I had been looking for a cleaver for a while and I couldn't find one I Iiked at a reasonable price. I decided to take a chance since I have bought Mueller products before and found them well made and well designed. This knife is no different. It is impressive, frightening, and exactly what it claims to be. My one complaint is the stain onthe leather holder is not very well done. It looks like someone forgot to finish staining the leather in some places. For me, this knife lives in a drawer out of sight and far away from curious hands, so that is not a problem. It is a surprising flaw given the thought that went into the knife.

I've used this a lot. Nice and sharp from factory. I think I've had it 2 years and just now need to sharpen it. Got weight to chop frozen and even some bones.

Very nice. Great feel to it. Nice weight, lets you know your holding quality. Come extremely sharp

This knife is unbelievable. The quality is unmatched and it is beautiful. I should let my husband weigh in as was a gift for him, best knife to cut steak according to him. He loves to cook and great knives are a must. Although large, easy to handle. Grip is nice and fits well in hand. Cleans up super easy, use often and no rust. This knife outperforms others by far. Cannot recommend this brand and style enough!

This cleaver came sharp. Matter of fact it is so sharp I really have to be careful just cleaning it. Nice weight for chopping etc. Nice quality too.

I love this knife, I hesitated buying it since I knew it would be a lot heavier than the knives I am used to handling. It is heavier, but that seems to be part of the magic, less effort and faster results. I did the tomato test first, it sliced so thin you could read through it! I love it so much, this is an incredible knife at an unbelievable price.
