Tramontina Ultracorte 6" Cleaver, Stainless Steel

I was a bit skeptical about a cleaver this small, but the 29.3cm length is actually perfect for my smaller cutting board. The stainless steel blade feels very solid, and it slices through onions and raw chicken thighs without any wobble.

I've been using this 6-inch cleaver for meal prep and it handles chicken breasts and bell peppers with equal ease. The stainless steel blade is thinner than I expected, which makes it feel nimble despite the wider shape.

This cleaver is perfectly sized for both meat and vegetables, and the stainless steel blade feels solid without being too heavy at 0.20 kg. I was surprised how easily it cut through a butternut squash.
