SKÄRPT Cleaver from Ikea (RM 79 in Malaysia; US$ 26.99 in US)


The handle of this cleaver is heavy enough to give some me extra muscles when chopping cloves of garlic and cleaving other hard, raw ingredients. Cleaning and storage are easy too.


Also on the plus side, this steel quality of this particular SKU of the Skärpt series is very wear-resistant, and keeps it sharp for a long time. I didn’t have to sharpen it very often, as I do to other series of knifes.


The only downside is that if I don’t store it nicely it WILL rust, and it DID. My SKÄRPT cleaver rusted and I had to toss it aside :-( and RM80 (approx. US$ 25) down the drain it went…what heartache…I wish it could be more rust-resistant though.


3 out of 5 stars
