John Y. ★★★★★

For a cleaver this size, it's surprisingly nimble in hand, and that sandblasted frosted finish keeps the blade from grabbing onto whatever I'm slicing. The D3 diamond sharpening process had it cutting through butternut squash like it was butter straight out of the box. The red handle is also a nice

Grace ★★★★★

That frosted sandblasted finish really resists sticking when I’m breaking down chicken, and the 9CR18MOV steel took a scary-sharp edge out of the box. The red handle gives me a solid grip even when things get greasy, so it’s become my go-to for weekend prep.

Ava ★★★★☆

The 5-layer steel holds an edge noticeably longer than my old knife, and the red handle gives a solid grip even when my hands are a bit oily. It's heavier than I expected for an 8-inch, so it took a couple meals to get used to, but that's part of why it chops so cleanly.
