I've never had a meat clever (or a good chefs knife) and this past weekend while making chicken wings, and trying to prepare them, I realize how much easier it would be with a cleaver. I also buy chicken quarters a lot and hack them in half with a crappy knife I have and it's a hassle and just not ideal, so I figure I'll use this multiple times a week.
I just used it and damn it is nice. I don't know how I went so long without using one. The first one I did I took like 2-3 hacks just because I didn't know how hard to do it, but the second one was pretty much 1 clean hack. It's going to save so much time and it's a lot more fun. Plus it won't screw up my only other crappy knife, which I bought a chefs knife with this as well.
The chef's knife comes tomorrow. These 2 tools are going to make doing stuff in the kitchen a lot easier lol.
I didn't get anything fancy but nothing bottom of the barrel either. I just looked for middle of the pack ones with good reviews on amazon and got these.

I think I'm going to just keep them in the box when not using them as I don't really know what else to do with them to keep them and us protected from the sharp edges.
