Very sharp knife that’s not a cleaver

Very sharp knife that’s not a cleaver
Opposed to other reviews the knife showed up packed in a box while covered in bubble wrap. First rate packing.The knife is very sharp. Not heavy very easy too use. There was a sticker on the knife warning that it wasn’t a cleaver. I was surprised that the bottom edge was curved, which will make it easy to use for mincing.I had received when first ordered a Winco Chinese cleaver which was huge. It wouldn’t have fit in my knife block. This one fits easily. I am happy with the purchase.
