Wusthof Meat Cleaver, 6", 460g - 4680-16 Tools made specifically to function bothA nice heavy and heavy duty cleaver. A good value, with plenty of length (6") and weight (460 grams) and a nice wide blade (4mm) to provide strength. A great size for home use not too big to make it difficult to handle or store, and not too expensive. If you're doing serious work though I'd go for one of the longer heavier models.
