I like having a cleaver around for medium/heavy duty tasks that would constitute knife abuse for my other knives. Cutting off fish heads, hacking through a chicken or cutting through semi-frozen products are a few examples of such tasks that periodically come up. It can be a problem finding a good cleaver for the household, since a lot of them are ridiculously heavy duty to the point where you would never really use them at home. For example, the Dexter cleaver is 1/4" thick and weighs over 2 lb! I can't think of what I would ever use that for, it would split my cutting board in half and probably the counter too. It's actually difficult to cleanly cut anything with a thick cleaver like that because it wedges in everything.
In terms of size and weight this cleaver is the perfect compromise, it is thin enough that it performs it's job well and heavy duty enough to be the go-to option for more demanding tasks. The handle is a nice classic untreated walnut handle with brass rivets, which I like a lot. This cleaver is priced well for something that I intend to beat up, and I think it's made in USA. I would easily recommend it.

Nicked after first use!
Good initial impression out of the box, but the first time I used it (chopping pork neck bones for stock) it didn’t cut very well and when I cleaned it I discovered that the blade was noticeably nicked from the job. A cleaver should be able to chop through bones.

Blade edge not strong enough.
