Zwilling Pro 4.72-inch Mini-Cleaver

I got this cleaver on a whim when shopping for other specific knives my boyfriend had mentioned he wanted. He has mentioned before that he would like a cleaver--this seemed like a perfect way to test the waters. It's hilariously small yet still effective! It has a good weight and good balance, and he used it to cut a large spaghetti squash fairly easily (1 strike, plus some pushing to get the knife all the way through). My only regret was assuming that the knife would fit in our Zwilling knife block, but the blade is too wide. I ended up buying a cleaver sheath but wish that could have been from Zwilling as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a set of zwilling pro knives. I had two slots to fill and decided to buy this mini cleaver for smaller jobs. This makes a great addition to my set.
