Wusthof Classic 6 Inch Meat Cleaver — Review and Information.

The Wusthof Classic is Wusthof’s standard, high-end knife line… and it truly is a classic! It is a forged knife made of their proprietary 58 hardness steel and is sharpened to a razor-like 14.5 degree angle (sharper than many Japanese knives!). With a full bolster, full tang, and traditional European handle, this line is great if you want an extremely sharp blade that handles like a German knife.

In this video, I go over the Wusthof Classic Meat Cleaver and give my thoughts.

Hi, I'm a woman with smaller hands. My favorite chopping knife is the Wusthof Ikon 5" santoku. I was wondering if you recommend the 6" classic cleaver over the 8", if you'd think I'd have better control in hacking. Thanks!

thank you . . . this is what i needed to know. Including the comment about this being a low end cleaver. That explains why I don't like it.

Uh you didn’t talk about what you actually thought about the knife
