How To Hold A Cleaver Knife
A Minute To Learn, A Lifetime To Master
Learning to safely handle your knife increases precision & efficiency in the kitchen. A hammer grip is the simplest & most natural way to hold a knife. Wrap all 5 fingers around the handle, making no contact with the blade. For more dexterity & control, consider the "pinch grip". Wrap your middle, pinky & index finger around the handle. Put your bent index finger on one side of the blade, just ahead of the bolster, with your thumb on the other side "pinching" the blade between your two fingers.
-
Easy to Care For
Less maintenance so you can spend more time cooking. The Gladiator Series washes up quick with soap and water. Let air dry, or gently wipe off excess water before storing safety in the included PerfectFit sheath. Ideal for protecting your blade both at home and on the go.

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2023
Anyway, on to the knife. Heavy! That's the first thing you notice. Very substantial, but not unwieldy. It's weight (and SUPER sharp blade) make it a monster at cutting through chicken bones! Make no mistake, this knife is for cutting up big things. I tried to cut some celery, but this knife isn't made for that.
As it relates to knives, I'm not sure that I understand what "balanced" really means. Does it mean you should be able to "balance" the knife on you fingers? Don't know. But I do know that this knife feels "right" when using it. Controlling the weighty knife was almost effortless.
The blade passed the paper test easily. I definitely recommend (as does Dalstrong) getting a whetstone to keep the super sharp blade super sharp.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend!
Pros:
-Wicked sharp, whistles through chicken bones like butter. Make sure your cutting board is a sturdy one.
-Beautiful construction. Everything is smooth and the separate parts fit flawlessly
-Nicely balanced, it feels good in the hand
-Thickness- should I need to the blade is thick enough that it could handle a good whack with a mallet
Con:
- Price- I purchased this item on sale. For the sale price, I'm delighted. I would not have paid full-price for it. But this is minor.
- Weight. This is a heavy cleaver.....for me. For someone taller and more muscular this shouldn't be a problem. I'm strong but I always feel slightly out of control when I'm using it. So, I'm extra careful.
- Size I'm petite - my kitchen counter comes up slightly higher than my waist. Swinging it hard to cut through bone feels a little precarious because of the length. But someone taller than me probably wouldn't have an issue.

I was, however, incredibly unhappy about the delivery... it was quick, it was safe, not damaged or anything, but it came unpacked and only in its Dalstrong box. Normally Amazon packs everything up in Amazon branded boxes... why not the one time I order a birthday present for my husband who was the one who accepted the parcel?!?!?!
