Dalstrong Obliterator Meat & Veggie Cleaver Knife - 9 inch - Gladiator Series R - Wood Stand & Sheath Cover - Razor Sharp Heavy Duty Bone Chopper- 3lbs 6mm Thick - 7CR17MOV Carbon Steel - G10 Handle

I must admit, this thing looked just so awesome, I had to have it simply as a display piece. When I got it, the thing was easily 25% bigger than I expected in every aspect. From the blade, to the handle, to the sheath, to the stand, everything was not just big, but BIGGER. It is kind of cartoonish. But, before you think this thing completely a joke, remember this: it is designed not only to look good, but CUT good. While heavy, and not something you'll want to wield daily in a restaurant kitchen, it does have a balanced feel (for a cleaver). There is a sense of control, which is nice. The edges (tip and heel) are dangerously sharp, and you need to feel (and be) in control of the tool. It is sharp enough to pass the armhair shave test. If you think this tool "silly", let's think about its' possible uses: melons, butternut acorn or spaghetti squash, a really hard cabbage with one of those gnarly hard cores, strip loins, pork loins, quartering a chicken in 15 seconds, and on and on. Anything you'd hate using a knife on, and dread doing, will likely be child's play for this hatchet. While I bought it mainly for its' wicked looks, I think I'll end up using it more than my Dalstrong Kiritsuke. The potential is vast, and it may be the most powerful kitchen tool I own that I don't have to plug in. While the front looks sharp in the pics, those edges along the front (leading into the top) are NOT sharp. It's to add to the fantasy look Dalstrong nailed to the wall in spades.

It's everything it says it is and more. Extremely sharp handle with care. Could easily cut something off with this knife enthusiasts wet dream. Note: Do not play with nor pleasure yourself with it. Other than that. Great quality. 200/100. Heavy weight Cleaver what more do you need to know? Go buy you one.

I bought this knife for my room mate for his birthday because he said that he wanted a cleaver when I asked what he wanted. After spending some time looking for one on Amazon, I found this 1 and honestly, I just thought it looked the coolest out of all the others that I saw listed. The price was a little high, but I thought it looked cool enough to justify it and I'd say it did. The knife comes with a hard, plastic sheath to protect the blade if you had to carry it somewhere or if you had small children that like to mess with everything. It also comes with a hand carved, wooden stand for if you don't have children to worry about, you can just keep it on its stand on the counter. Now for the knife itself, this thing is robust. Full tang, so he won't have to worry about the handle snapping when he's cutting meats and other things, and the weight will definitely help with making it easier to cut tough cuts of meat and bone. The edge isn't super sharp, definitely not razor sharp, but it's still plenty sharp enough to do the job that's asked of it. And since the blade is made of stainless steel, it's pretty easy to clean. All in all, I think it's a very nice knife and makes for a very good gift.

Let me just start this review by saying that I’m a lifelong knife nut turned chef. I collect high end folders and have an array of name brand kitchen knives. I professionally sharpen knives for friends and am known to put 15,000 grit polishes on my blades. I think they’re functional works of art.. and this Dalstrong Obliterator cleaver may be one of my favorite knives I’ve ever owned. The 7cr17mov steel is found in many budget valued bushcraft knives. It’s a steel that can take a beating and doesn’t chip easily, but also won’t break the bank. I’m blown away that they could sell this hunk of steel at this price. The fit and finish on the blade is absolutely beautiful. I’m astonished that a 3lb, 9” long, 1/4” thick blade can be so balanced. That being said, if you lack shoulder strength.. beware.. this knife is heavy. It looks like something out of Final Fantasy or Dark Souls. Check my pics. I have medium-large hands and this thing is an absolute chunk. First thing I did with this beast was chop up a few whole chickens for some Korean fried chicken. Just.. wow. Goes through bone like butter. I can’t wait to use this thing to break down elk or venison. I was never given a product for review; I’m just a fan of impressive cutlery and I absolutely love this cleaver. The stand it comes with is rustic, yet refined and beautiful. And the sheath it comes with is high quality with padding on the inside to protect from scratches and absorb shock in travel. Now that I have this, I could never go back to an ordinary cleaver. I’d love to see them come out with a two handed splitting cleaver for butchers. Well done, Dalstrong 👍🏼

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EXCELLENT SELLER. EXCELLENT PRODUCT, LOVE IT

The quality of the blade and handle are amazing. Definitely would recommend for anyone who is looking for a cleaver of this size. I however was not impressed with the plastic sheath. It is the only reason I could not give it 5 points. Minimal. It split apart and luckily my fingers were not close when it did or I would have had some serious cuts because this baby is sharp! I love how heavy and thick it is. Love the sturdy build!

I ordered this less than 12 hours ago, and it's already in my hands. It's amazing! They aren't lying about the thickness, quality, weight, or hand-feel. It's easily the best cleaver I've ever used, and it's heavy enough (almost 3lbs) to stand up to daily use. I don't normally really pay attention to packaging, but it's obvious that a lot of care went into the presentation. There's a little welcome card, with a branded cleaning cloth and a pin, which is a nice touch. The ONLY thing I can't comment on is how well it'll take an edge when I have to sharpen it, but it's sharp enough out of the box to get started, and if they were honest about the kind of steel then it shouldn't have any problems. The pictures make it look like a flat blade, but there's a minute curvature, more pronounced at the tip, to it that's hard to see. It makes it just a little easier on your wrists if you're doing anything fine. I love this knife, and you will too.

Les têtes de poulet et de belles mères n'ont qu'à bien se tenir ! Une machine de guerre ! Esthétiquement parfait il trône sur le plan de travail en attendant la personne qui voudrait vous faire un reproche, une fois en main " c'est celui qui dit qui est" Qualité incroyable!

Although heavy, if you use the weight correctly this cleaver is easy to use. It's all about technique. Quality item.

La spedizione amazon è al top come sempre, il coltello, (se coltello si può definire) è davvero mostruoso, imponente, design che cattura l'attenzione e pesante al punto giusto per il lavoro che deve svolgere. Decisamente un bell'attrezzo, ma non esente da imperfezioni estetiche dovute (probabilmente) alla grande richiesta di tale prodotto, ma che non vanno assolutamente ad intaccare l'efficenza del lavoro che andrà a svolgere. Acquisto consigliato.

Este cuchillo es de tamaño “colosal” luce espectacular, el filo es increíble se maneja muy bien! Es un cuchillo que no puede faltar si eres amante de la cocina. Me encanto!!!
