Quality of steel is good Quality of steel is good, the serrated blade is extremely sharp and cuts through thick crust like butter. Although the steel being damascus is questionable not sure if it is etched or laser. The tang passes the wood handle so there is a sharp edge by the fingers. The wood handle’s are very nice. Overall for the price it is a really nice knife for cutting bread.

Very Disappointed in the quality of the steel! The good: Looks nice, good weight, well balanced. The Bad: After only 2 months of light use, dicing chicken breast and vegetables, the knife got a small chip in the blade. In comparison, my previous knife was a Mercer, that cost less than half of this one. In my over 10 years of using the Mercer, I Never got a single chip! Unfortunately, it's past the 30 day return window, so I am stuck with this poorly tempered knife. Knives Etcetera made it right by sending me a replacement knife.

Excellent birthday gift & customer service Purchased a knife as a birthday gift for my brother and he loves it! He really enjoys cooking and says that the quality is awesome. The customer service was also super impressive. Despite the loss of inventory of the specific knife that I wanted, they reached out to me and offered to send a different kind of knife and then also gave me a partial refund and was just super responsive and understanding! Will definitely purchase from here again!

Best clever ever Received my clever quicker then expected and it was beautiful. Came in a nice box and was really really sharp from the get go. Everyone is obsessing over it at work and have some envy. It’s perfect size for me too with having small hands for a female it fits perfectly. The balance is good and it’s a really strong knife. Feel very confident when using it, not overly intimidating.

It was my fault..... I used my cleaver for the first time chopping a chicken with the bones still in. Wrong thing to do and, it says so on the website. (I missed that part) Anyway I significantly damaged my edge and emailed Knives Etc and admitted my dumbness. It doesn't hurt to ask so I did. "Is there anyway that I can get my knife replaced?" I received an email the next day that basically was shaking a finger at me (we told you on the website you cannot do that) and the message closed with a very kind, top notch customer service note that they would replace my knife and I pay shipping..!! What an awesome company..!!
