the Cleaver

I am currently adding this piece to my personal arsenal of cutlery, as it is truly a cook's best friend, and just plain feels POWERFUL in your hand! It is very likely the heaviest knife in the Cutco line, and it is used primarily for the big jobs, like splitting ribs and cutting through frozen foods. Also, you can use it to disjoint chicken, turkey, duck; cut through frozen foods; crack spareribs; smash garlic cloves; pound and tenderize cutlets; sever bones for stock.
Its straight-edge blade is powerful and precise. If you turn it over, it can be used to pound out chicken breasts. Purchased by itself, it comes with a protective leather sheath. This item can be seen chopping a coconut on Youtube, if you search: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMRcFqEVCFg
