Cartini Godrej Essential Kitchen Cleaver,1 Pc Set, Stainless Steel (AISI 420J2).

If you are in market for good quality knives in India. Then you can't go wrong with Cartini. Decently priced, impeccable quality. Stumbled upon brand, 13 yrs ago. Still have that knife, going strong. Has retained sharpness and shine. Buy a original Cartoon from Godrej and you can't go wrong. Coming back to cleaver, this is a good item, albeit a bit light. Good for dressing and chopping poultry at home. Also can be used for large vegetables like cauliflower etc. If you want to use it to for large pieces of red meat like lamb, would suggest you buy a heavy cleaver (not easily available in India).

It's a good meat cleaver, though not heavy (around 200gms). Ok for chopping through chicken , but not mutton (would require more force) , however it is sharp , balances well , but prone to burring( the edge gets destroyed if it hits strong bones (like in mutton) . If you want heavy duty meat cleaving go for other brands

I wanted a cleaver knife as it is more functional in comparison to usual kitchen knife and you can do much finer slicing and chopping but i wanted it for domestic use. First i ordered solimo cleaver knife though the quality was good but that was too big for my daily use in the kitchen, though it seemed good for meat and joints. Then i ordered this godrej knife which is a bit smaller in size and seemed more practical for daily kitchen use. One word of caution that this knife is quite sharp, so if you are not experienced in using big kitchen knives then be careful with this cleaver. I am uploading the pics for your reference.

the knife is very good, it has very good handle with rubber grip. sharp blade and big enough size to hit and cut the piece with force. dont be in an impression that such a knife would be easy to use, no its not unless someone posses skill to use it, dont you simple see videos online and hit it on your chopping piece, lolz... you may end up chopping off your own finger. it's not razor sharp, but its enough sharp. sharpening rod is recommended accessory for this knife... over all its worth purchasing, indeed value for money!

Weight should be more for easy cutting of hard bones. It is not useful for cutting mutton with bones.

Its a light weight but a sturdy product with an sharp edge. The grip is smooth but strong , with a shining smooth blade.A quality product would definitely recommend.

Excellent

Quality of knife was not good. Only used it 4 to 5 times and blade of its gets broken
