Ratings & Reviews for Zwilling Gourmet 6inch Meat Cleaver

Makes quick work of meats and bones.

This is a very good meat cleaver for home cooking. Excellent for breaking down chickens, smaller pork and lamb bones. It isn't a full on butchery knife but for home use, and restaurant prep work, I like it a lot. It holds an edge and is heavy enough to give a little help when I am cutting through bones. Its lightness, and relative thinness, makes it good for meal prep. The Gourmet line is a very good line of stamped knives. They are manufactured under tight controls and precise standards at Z...

I'm writing this review after watching my husband go to town on the ribs he wanted to smoke. It scared me a bit but he had always wanted a meat cleaver so this is the one that was recommended. First of all... IT IS HEAVY, but I think that's the point, it has cut thru chicken bones like they were styrofoam, and judging by the smile on his face did some serious work on those rib bones. The Zwilling knives have always been the bes, this has now been added to the collection!

This meat cleaver is amazing and gets the job done! It is slightly lighter than other German meat cleavers, but still has enough weight behind it.

This cleaver is a quality knife made in Germany with specially formulated steel but it is stamped instead of forged so in addition to a more competitive price point it is a bit lighter than a forged knife which many home chefs enjoy. A cleaver was designed to be used on meat but is also good for hard vegetables such as squash. Not just for cutting up bone in meat it is also good for cubing or mincing meat. The large surface area is useful for scooping up chopped items and the flat side can be...

I love Gourmet

I think this is such a great line of knives. It's perfect for someone who wants the quality of a knife made from high carbon German steel and made in Germany. A knife that has the durable three rivet handle but doesn't want to the weight or price of a forged knife. This is a stamped knife so it is a lighter than a forged knife. For me, this is particularly helpful with a cleaver that is heavy by design. I feel much more comfortable handling this and it's still sharp and thick enough to ch...

A well-made cleaver for all those hens, chickens, and ducks you will serve! The Gourmet line is a great entry line for Zwilling. Even though it is stamped and a bit lighter-weight, it is still a quality cleaver and you will be amazed at how well it works!

Very comfortable lightweight handle when using it for cutting large pieces of meat and whole chickens. Sharp blade and stays sharp. Everyone should have a cleaver as a knife.

Cleavers are wonderful for cut up whole chickens, chicken wings, and ribs. Great addition to any kitchen. This Gourmet cleaver has a good weight and a sturdy handle.

Cleavers are great to add into your kitchen tool kit. A meat cleaver makes cutting into those ribs and beer can chickens easy. This one is a great cleaver for the price.

This cleaver is great for cutting through bones and tendons. Easily break down a chicken or slab of ribs. Comes in handy for cutting hard squash and smashing garlic.

A cleaver knife that cuts meat & bone!

I've has this Zwilling Gourmet knife for years, and it's still in great condition and I never have to sharpen it. This knife is Precision-stamped from a single-piece of solid steel, Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper, stays sharper longer, and has superior resilience, ideal cutting angle for sharpness and durability.

crushes garlic!!

When a recipe calls for crushed garlic...pull this one out of your block. I also use it for slicing ginger and other tough skinned vegetables! Easy to handle. the 6 inch blade is user friendly and fairly light weight for the type of production it will help yield. My butcher block has a spaced designed for this cleaver. I use it!!!

Personally I am a little intimidated by the cleaver, but my husband finds it very handy for breaking down a chicken or ribs. Great weight behind it. Good price for the quality.

Need to take apart a chicken or a side of beef - this is your knife (cleaver). It's made from German Special Formula Steel and ice hardened. Translates to super sharp and durable for those big jobs. Always make sure you are using a meat cleaver when working with meat.

A great Cleaver

This knife is so big, which is great if you are really chopping up a lot of produce or cutting large pieces of meat. The handle on this knife is comfortable and has a good grip for handling such a large blade. Even though it’s stamped, because the steel has been ice hardened, it’s a superior stamped knife that will be more durable and sharper in comparison to other stamped cleavers. Looks a lot like the forged Zwilling Pro knives, but at a much nicer price point.

This lightweight Gourmet cleaver will be sure to get the job done. The stamped handle is quite comfortable and the forged steel is durable and will stay sharp for a long time.

Absolutely perfectly balanced great feel in hand

I will definitely be buying more yup make a wonderful set of knifes
