Would this be a good cleaver to use to open a young Thai coconut?

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law, so have never used it. Therefore, I can't answer your question.

Yes, this is exactly why I bought this cleaver. It's smaller than I had imagined in my head, but works great and stays sharp. A2

No, this is the wrong kind of knife for that - it is perfect for cutting tomatoes and citrus. Serrated edges wouldn't work well with chicken breasts. You need a boning knife for that, like this one: J. A Henckels International Classic 5.5-Inch Stainless Steel Boning Knife

I am not sure.Coconut is not too soft nor too hard, so it ought to be able to shred it without turning it to mush.Just make sure the piece is large enough to shred and that no shell remains on it.Another commenter posted the site url http://www.saladshooter.com/tips.html check it out

Its a razor sharp piece of steel, good quality. So yes I wouldnt have a problem using it for such purposes.

It is about 1/16th of an inch. I have not cracked open a coconut with it, but it would appear you need something thicker, heavier, and more substantial to do that.

It is just to get the meat out. If the coconut is old enough that the meat stays together then yes, it will work, if it is so young that the meat is too soft then you might as well use a spoon. If the meat is at least a quarter inch thick then yes it should work well.

Should be fine for fruits and bread but using as a utility type of knife inst such a good idea. The blade may become loose as it did to me

From what I have read, I suppose it wouldn't hurt you, however it would be a lot more palatable with something. My experience with this brand is that it has considerable coconut flavor, so if you dont care for coconut, be warned. For cooking purposes, I will be looking for another brand.

Because - even though I've heard of that trick and tried it on several occasions - I never succeeded. Perhaps it's because the coconuts here aren't completely fresh? No idea. In any case: This tool is the closest I came to getting the meat out perfectly, even if I had to muscle pretty hard :)

I didn't use the Presto 02910 SaladShooter to shred any coconut, but I seriously doubt it's capable of doing so. The shredder is very flimsy.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

It works great, but you need a good sharp knife as well. I got the commercial knife called Fat Daddio. Just keep it away from small children!

Not as an effective one, it is a great knife and it has a good size, so if you really want to open a bottle with it you could, but you will have to put some work into it.

I have a MAC 6-12 inch Japanese vegetable cleaver, and it fits perfectly down into one of the slots with none of the blade being exposed, which might be dangerous. I also have a 7 inch meat cleaver in a wider space, and it also fits completely into its particular slot. I guess you could use your 7 inch veg. cleaver in the meat cleaver slot. You would just have space on either side of the veg. cleaver, if that wouldn't bother you. I hope this is clear and helps you.

It is a "made in China" short machete. The blade has 14" length. I could say that could be used to cut coconuts. I use it to trim small trees

You would need a thin sharp blade---and don't forget technique! If you have a favorite sushi place watch theblade used and ask if you will. They are friendly to customer question.

Yes, my daughter uses it to cut vegetables and the grip is better for little kids than that of a butter knife
