Not bad, but nothing to write home about. The rosewood handle has a slight rough patch near the bolster which is a bit annoying. Does chop chicken bones fine and holds up ok. Not sure I’d buy another.

Arrived quick and packed well. Honestly for £35 you can’t go wrong. I’ve been using it to slice up pork belly and the curved blade makes it dead easy to get a clean cut.
Bradley (verified owner) –
Big upgrade from my old Jamie Oliver set. This thing actually keeps an edge. The rosewood handle hasn’t got any looser after a few months of heavy use. Impressed.
Carla (verified owner) –
So much better than the cheapy one I had before. The serrated spine is a clever touch actually, used it to scrape the scales off a fish earlier and worked a treat. Proper sharp too.
Stu Bennett (verified owner) –
Cant fault it. Im a chef in a pub and bought this for home use. It does exactly what I need, feels solid and the 4Cr13 steel takes a wicked edge on the steel. My wife loves the look of it aswell.
Chris Campbell (verified owner) –
Got this for my dad for Father’s Day. He’s one of those blokes that loves a good bbq and he’s used it non-stop since. Said the rosewood handle feels a treat and its got a really nice weight to it.
Steve T. (verified owner) –
My husband is over the moon with this. He’s been using it to trim brisket and said the curve makes it so much easier to follow the fat. Looks great on the magnetic rack too.
Carla Evans (verified owner) –
Really nice knife, genuinely. Gave it 4 stars though cause the handle is a touch slim for my shovel hands. Apart from that no complaints, sharp as anything and looks the business.
Donna T. (verified owner) –
Its a belter. I’d been after a smaller cleaver for ages and this 5-inch is ideal for my smaller kitchen. The blade grinds through anything and the packaging was spot on.
Emma (verified owner) –
This knife has become my go-to for weekend prep. From butternut squash to slicing through beef ribs, it doesn’t break a sweat. The handle feels like it’ll last years.
Alice Chapman (verified owner) –
Got this for my son who’s just started butchery college. He reckons it’s as good as some of the expensive ones they use. The hammered finish hides any light scratches too which is a bonus.
Toby J. (verified owner) –
Been using it for a couple weeks now and its doing a fine job. Only wish the blade was an inch longer for when I’m doing larger cuts of pork. Still a cracking little cleaver for the price.
Bex (verified owner) –
Never thought I’d get excited about a knife but here we are. It’s just so satisfying to use. The hammered bits stop food sticking which is genius, and it feels worth double the price.
Owen Jones (verified owner) –
Ok so I bought this mainly for camping and outdoor cooking. It’s perfect for that. The sheath protects it in the bag and it makes quick work of preparing firewood kindling as well as food. Proper versatile.
Liam Burke (verified owner) –
Lovely knife this. Bought it to break down a few chickens and it went through the bones like they weren’t there. The hammered finish looks proper smart and the handle is really comfy even with wet hands.
Dean Wood (verified owner) –
Was after a decent cleaver without spending a fortune, this is spot on. Holds an edge nicely and the sheath is a nice touch so I don’t slice my fingers off rummaging in the drawer.
Vicky (verified owner) –
Came really well packaged which i appreciated. The knife itself is a little beast, sliced through a block of frozen spinach like it was nothing. Love the curved belly on the blade.
Emily Marsh (verified owner) –
Bought on a whim after seeing the hammered pattern online. Even nicer in real life. Used it to joint a rabbit and it was effortless. The sheath is decent quality, not just an afterthought.
Nic (verified owner) –
If you’re on the fence just get it. I was a bit iffy about the size but its spot on for most butchery jobs. The blade shape is really clever, almost like a mini scimitar.
Phoebe H. (verified owner) –
Was hoping for a bit more heft for a butcher knife. The weight is fine but just feels a little flimsy compared to a proper cleaver. It’ll do for light tasks but I’ll keep my old one for the heavy stuff. Delivery was quick at least.
