Thread: Meat Cleavers - Silky Ono ?

mate don't give up on a good cleaver.....get yourself a mallet of some sort,place it on your chops and give it a belt or two on the back edge,cuts them neatly WITHOUT chips of bone as no multiple hits, as for meat saw, slip into bunnings/mitre 10/placemakers and grab an elcheapho saw from the bargain bin $5-$10 and go to it,when its stuffed just go get another one.

Funny you should say that, I only just the other day learnt about the "belt or two" to the back of the cleaver thing, and haven't tried it out yet - despite eating many bone chips and living for 30 years with the cooks grumbles !!. But my cleaver is a bit light I think for cutting down.

silky are quality saws.that cleaver is one piece.i have a "lobster" brand tomahawk,japanese made and one piece.my father bought it 50 odd years ago,the steel is superb and it is still going strong.
