Owen ★★★★★

The black titanium coating on this one isn't just for looks—it's held up beautifully through a heavy week of meal prep without a single scratch. The 8-12° edge from the diamond sharpening makes it feel surgical on vegetables, and the weight is balanced enough that my wrist doesn't ache after a long

Thomas M. ★★★★★

The 8-12° edge from that diamond sharpening process is scary sharp right out of the box—I’ve never had a knife that bites into a butternut squash so cleanly. The black titanium coating hasn’t shown a single scratch after a month of heavy weekly use.

Richard ★★★★★

The black titanium coating on this 8" cleaver is gorgeous in person and has held up through a week of daily prep without a single scratch. Blade came ridiculously sharp out of the box, and the 8-12° edge makes quick work of everything from onions to butternut squash.
