One of the tree metal tacks on the wood handle which was closest to the main part of knife worried me a little. There were spaces between the wood handle and knife. But after daily use, cleaning and rinsing, the wood expended, filled the space out. Now it is my favorite knife for slicing, chopping.... One knife is all I need in my kitchen ( All the Chinese chefs require only one good knife. But do keep the knife clean and wipe off the water before let it air dried, so the wood handle will last for years to come.)

Love the size and weight. Disappointed with handle construction. Rosewood sides were a little larger than the tang creating an uncomfortable groove on the top and especially noticeable on the bottom. Was able to fix it by taking it to my shop grinder and then smoothing it with 60 grit sandpaper. Feels great now.

First it arrived 3 days earlier than I had been told. That's great! This is a really nice cleaver. It is not too heavy and it pretty sharp. (could be sharper, but it is OK) My garden helpers use knives like this and chefs knives and also serrated knives to take down the hosta leaves and chop them up in the garden at this time of year. That helps the leaves degrade better over winter, providing soil nutrients for the plants in the spring. It is kind of like leaf mulch.

It takes a lot of power to come down on a massive kabocha squash to cut it in half. It has the sharpness and strength, but the power comes from a carefully aimed strike on a good cutting board. I still use my small knife for smaller squash cuts, but this beats them all for large fast strokes on long pieces. If I were a meat eater, I would say it could easily cut right through a meat bone. Just watch your fingers! I bought one for each of our homes and it hangs beautifully on the knife hook we have in the kitchen.
