** Pros / Cons **

+ Very affordable, high value for money
+ Extremely tough steel and sturdy construction
+ Impressive cutting power

- Sluggish handling (point of balance in the center of the blade, feels heavy)
- Not the most comfortable handle

** Verdict **

If you like massive, tank-like cleavers with raw power and don't care about agility, ease of use, or finesse, this would be something for you. It cuts, chops and cleaves like a beast and it can take quite a beating without an issue.

If you're looking for a well-balanced, nimble sword this is clearly not the way to go, but otherwise you can't go wrong for a mere 100 bucks. Of course it cannot hope to compete with a $500 dadao but it's quite amazing quality for the price.
