Osta ZWILLING Pro Kiinalainen Kokinveitsi

The bolster is flush with the handle, so my knuckles don’t scrape the board even when I’m chopping fast. It’s hefty but balanced, and the 7-inch blade feels like it was made for my hand.

My old cleaver finally gave up and this 7-inch one has been a daily workhorse since it arrived. The blade cuts through chicken bones and thick squash with way less effort than I expected, and the weight feels reassuringly solid without tiring my wrist.

The 7-inch blade is hefty but well-balanced, making quick work of chopping a whole cabbage without rocking. I've used it daily for two weeks and the edge is still razor-sharp, which says a lot for a cleaver this size.
