Where can I get these knives?
Those are reasonably well made and nice looking knives for the price. Pretty sharp but the time will tell for how long they´ll stay sharp. The only mistake Lidle makes is with the naming: “Cleaver” is actually not a cleaver but the nakiri knife ideal for slicing veggies. If you use it as a cleaver (cutting bones and other hard stuff) you will permanently damage the edge.
