Nice cleaver
"This cleaver has a good size to weight ratio. It is as well suited for heavy chopping through bones as it is for fine work breaking down a bundle of fresh parsley. It has a nice feel to it, and very sharp."
The Oliva Elite 6” Heavy Cleaver isn’t here to mince words—or meat. With a thick, powerful blade and balanced design, it’s engineered to crush garlic, split poultry, and slice through dense vegetables like winter squash with authority. Forged in Solingen, Germany from high-carbon stainless steel and finished with a sculpted olive wood handle, it offers brute force with refined control. When your kitchen tasks call for something a little heavier, this cleaver’s got your back.

Excellent Cleaver
"This arrived recently and the first thing I noticed was the really nice handle. The next thing is that it’s heavy! It has a nice thick blade made from hard steel. The cutting edge is much more blunt than a regular knife, but still sharp. The weight and sharpness will enable this to easily cut bone."
Very Happy!
"Bought a "pick your own set" including the cleaver and so glad I did. All the knives I picked are fantastic, beautiful to look at, well-balanced and cut like a dream. You will not regret buying these knives, you will just regret not buying them sooner!! And, highly recommend the storage block, so easy to get the knives in and out of and love the UV option."
