WINCO Chinese Cleaver with Stainless Steel Handle

V.good

I actually purchased this brute to cut giant blocks of melt and pour soap. My 7 inch cleaver was unable to handle the job, and this was described as "hefty" That's an understatement as this thing looks like Paul Bunyan's axe in my tiny hands. I feel invincible. This is sharp, and takes all of the work out of chopping. I can now cut huge quantities of soap in no time at all, and without the sore hands I got having to push so hard to get through it. The one piece is great, no rivets, no chance of falling apart mid slice. I'm excited to see my hubby try it out in the kitchen (after a thorough cleaning in the dishwasher) as he loves his Asian cuisine. Time will tell how sharp it stays between both jobs, but for the price I have no qualms in giving it some love when it needs it. Great tool for the job at hand, great price, and great quality makes this cleaver a clear win!

Sharp edges and hurt my hand. blade not sharp enough. Overall value for money.

After moving into a new place, and leaving my prior knife collection behind, I looked into alternatives and found a great video praising this style of knife. Since using this, it has been the only knife I've ever used - despite since ordering and having a knife set since. This one just does everything, and is so convienent for so many everyday use cases. The only thing that would be nice is some serations on the sides to prevent things like potatoes to sticking to the knife. It's also sharp, so do adjust your cleaning habits accordingly.

Excelente producto y muy buen filo

Bought the Winco KC-401 from M.A.Y Store. The delivery was pathetic with no communication from vendor, greatly delayed delivery and no tracking provided by vendor. However, the product is very beautiful though heavy and made in China. The knife is made from a single piece of stainless steel including the handle, so there is no apprehension of the handle breaking away. This is a vegetable cleaver and so you need to use the pinch grip to hold the cleaver. This cleaver can be used to crush garlic and ginger, and handle huge volumes of vegetables. The large surface area will help to collect the cut food from the cutting board at a time whereas it needs multiple passes for a chef's knife in order to collect the same quantity. The high width of 4 inches really helps in supporting the claw finger technique for cutting thin slices.
