Kiwi #504 3" Mini Cleaver

I bought this knife because I have long wanted to try a knife from this brand. And, miniature versions things are fun. I tried it out by slicing some cheese off of a block of cheddar and slicing some brussels sprouts in half. It definitely is sharp and, for cheese, it is easier to cut straight slices than with a standard paring knife. The fit and finish is far from bad considering the price point. I see myself grabbing this thing multiple times a week for various tasks that I dont want to use a full-sized knife for. It will be interesting to see how long it stays sharp and how easy it is to put a sharp edge on it in the future. This definitely is not going to be something that you use for 'cleaving' anything unless you're a koala bear chopping eucalyptus leaves or something like that. It has a three inch blade and weighs maybe a couple of ounces.It's not going to win any awards for economy of motion, but it is a fun and functional little knife.

Love this little trial-size cleaver. Excellent for cheeses and round cured meats for appetizer/party trays.

Sharp enough and cute size. I like it

I was really surprised at how sharp this little knife is. Wow!!! I got it because I wanted a knife for chopping garlic and it's great for that. In fact, I'm using it quite a bit for chopping herbs and vegetables, too. I don't know how long it will last, but I have never had a knife this sharp and I've got quite a few (not cheap) knives. It doesn't look all that sturdy, but so far, it has held up fine and also, the edge has retained its sharpness. I hope anyone who buys this will take care because, as I said, it is extra sharp.UpdateI've had this knife for quite a while, perhaps a year or two and use it a lot and it's still going strong. I cook all my meals, so I have to say that it's in constant use. It doesn't look that strong, so I'm a bit surprised that it's held up so well. This was a surprisingly good purchase.

Very sharp but too small for my needs

Highly recommend these knives. They stay sharp and if they ever get to a point they are to far gone they are cheap enough to buy a new one

Great quality perfect size for me and it’s lightweight.

Cute little cleaver. This is the one that my wife will use to slice garlic and take a chunk of cheese instead of any of my big scary sharp chef knives. It is decently sharp and a was easy to dress the blade with a basic sharpening rod. Yes, the blade is a little soft and may need a little more sharpening.
