Can this hold heavy Chinese cleavers?

The more surface area of the knife that touches the magnetic part the stronger the hold. Sometimes knives do fall off, but that's usually when they're too close together and get disturbed when pulling off one next to them. Generally, it works very well.

I haven't tried it on anything that heavy but I do not think it would work for that.

It looks like you could. You might be cautious about carrying it by the handle with the extra weight, though.

Should be able too. I put 100# on mine with no problem but that is some serious weight.

I guess you can. mine broke very quickly. not good for anything remotely heavy. the plastic used is very brittle,

Probably not, this knife block doesn't even fit the Shun meat cleaver, and I think the Shun meat cleaver is pretty small compared to the wusthof cleaver.

Yes, I believe so. Although, probably easier with the clamp, if you were able to take the shears apart, before you attempt to. I used it on a 16" buck knife and a 21" short sword with amazing results.

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!

Yes and no, as the blade can handle it, but the saw you mount it on dictates the usable capacity.

Yes, This hanger is big enough to hang a heavy string trimmer. I have several holding up handled tools including a 16-lb. post mall. I am very satisfied with this brand of hanger.

I would say 'No'. One of my heavier knives hangs at a slight angle. Not a huge problem but I'm thinking it might be much worse if it was hung vertically.

Maybe. I think 40# would be right at the upper limit it could hold. I'd replace the included screws with longer heavier duty lag bolts. The bracket would be the weak link in the chain. It's made of approximately 1/8" plate bent to shape.

A katana is too large for this system. It would require multiple clamping and adjustments and coupled with the katanas has a complex multi-angle bevel, the end result would be sub-par.

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

I hang my Henckels Zwillinge knives from the cleaver to paring knives. It also has steel hooks that I hang my Fissler kitchen tools. I highly recommend this strip!

The longest slot (the one that typically holds a cleaver) can fit a roughly 11" blade. Now, about 1/2" of the blade sticks out the back, but does not come in contact with the counter because the rear part of the wood block is slighted elevated and will provide the necessary clearance. A 10 1/2" blade, however, will fit perfectly in the longest slot. I hope this helps.

Yes. I have all my knives on them, even my largest and heaviest. They are quite strong.
