Set Contains: 8-Inch Chinese Chef's Knife with Wood Handle Review: Mercer Asian Cleaver WOOD HANDLE - This is a review for the wooden handle version. Picking it up for the first time it's surprisingly substantial and good quality. I was expecting to be a little underwhelmed considering I only paid £20. This thing is pretty hefty. 14 ounces, +-400g, 2.8mm thick. That's on the heavier side for a Chinese cleaver according to my brief research on the topic. I tapped it on the flat side on the side of my head and it's stiff and solid as can be. It could definitely knock someone out just with a slap. Im not sure if it's intended for bone chopping. The other black version is a nimble 110 grams lighter and is definitely not intended for bones so this could be the tougher bone version perhaps? It seems more middle ground. It feels like it'll have no problems with smaller bones like chicken which is what you're most likely to chop on the odd occasion. I've personally never had to chop through large bones so this isn't a concern for me. I'll leave that sort of thing up to the butcher. Chopping vegetables with it doesn't feel difficult or clunky. I'm slightly above average in strength. Someone with weaker arms or a woman might find it a bit too much. Perhaps not. I suppose it depends on your vigor and enthusiasm. The balance point from the handle is 3/5 along the entire knife. So it's top heavy but doesn't feel overly so when you hold it. You don't hold it from the bottom of the handle though. Your first 2 fingers and your thumb hold the actual blade at the bottom of the metal blade. Keeps the blade nice and steady. The sharpness out of the box is very good but nothing to rave on about. It can easily do the paper cutting trick so long as it's fairly stiff. I noticed the way that blade edge is cut, one side is higher than the other so it's more of a one-sided edge and will need to be sharpened that way, probably on a whetstone. The higher side is on the writing side if that concerns you. The thickness of the blade though, does taper evenly on both sides right down to the cutting edge. It's not a flat 2.8 mm all the way through, only at the top. I particularly like the wooden handle and the Asian writing on the side. It gives it that authentic Chinese cleaver feel. I actually scorched the handle with a confectionery blow torch and buffed it down with fine sandpaper to give it a more expensive antique look. It was pretty intimidating because I was afraid the heat might split the wood but I did it gently and gave it time to cool, and it turned out nice. Review: Good grip - Good knife.
