Can this hold heavy Chinese cleavers?

I'm not sure how heavy a Chinese cleaver is, but I have a normal size cleaver that hangs perfectly on the strip. The magnets are very strong

It'll hold a 50" work peice. The clamping strength doesn't change from the size of the clamp.

Probably not, it is specifically made for a katana. Broad swords generally are not balance well enough that this stand will provide enough support. Another issue is that a broad sword is a lot wider, unless your sword has a rounded scabbard the stand probably won't be able to support it that way either.

I'm using it for honeysuckle , so would probably be sturdy enough for a ' medium ' load . Make sure to anchor it securely .

I have a 10.25" bread knife and it fits fine in the top slot for the cleaver. It won't fit in the other slots because it's too wide so I don't know if there is a length constraint there. My 8 inch knife gyuto knife fits fine in the top slots.

I don't really know because I wall mounted them. I wouldn't think so though because they are barely strong enough to hold the knives.

Chinese style knives (cleavers) come in two blade profiles. This one is meant to be used as a slicing/paring knife. The steel is good and you probably wouldn't have a problem. But you would be better off with a western style carbon steel cleaver that had a thicker blade (for momentum and shock resistance) and easier sharpening. The shun blades wear really well but they take a while to hone/sharpen, and you don't want to nick one.

No. I would say yes IF this rack were still made of 11 gauge steel, instead of thinner 12 gauge (from the Bodycraft website: 2" x 3" , 12 Gauge Steel Tubing). Based on their website specs, they've 'cheapened' this rack with thinner-walled steel and Amazon has yet to update their specs. For weight that heavy, go with 11 gauge steel, such as the Titan HD rack (which also comes with the 4 plate holders) or the GPR378 rack.

Absolutely. The Chinese made products are currently not worth the money. If you use your tools as much as I do, you wouldn't want any of the inferior made products either.

It is not 4" on my block. It is 3-15/16" which is about 1/32" too narrow for my cleaver. After some sharpening it should work.

it sure will. I use mine for HEMA which is quite a bit heavier weaponry than Epee, Rapier or Fencing Sabre.

It is a little bit heavy, otherwise I don,t see why not. The clamp can be at most 2.5 inch open.

It likely could accommodate however your drawer would need to be deep enough to accommodate the height of the cleaver. Maybe a little awkward, depending on height of knife possibly wobbly. I like the product, it has been durable and accommodates bread knifes, paring, chef type, steak... etc.

I haven't finished testing it for my channel yet, but I would say yes. The lock can hold 100lbs before it breaks, and the steel can bend to 30 degrees w/o damaging the blade. It is very lightweight, but very durable. Hope this helps!

Right now I use it to hold a very heavy Japanese sword and display case. We have had three people sitting on it so I know it will hold at least 450 pounds. Hope that helps.

Well yes, but be careful. If you fill the container with heavy scraps, the handle may not support its weight.

I have multiple rolling pins, mixers, meat cleaver, and so many other kitchen tools that are extremely heavy, all hanging on mine. I wouldn't hesitate to hang my iron cookware on there if the urge hit me. And who knows? One of these days, it just might!
