That is a beautiful cleaver. I gotta ask. Why 440c and not one of the more popular "chopper" tool steels like 3V, A2, etc?

Because it is a kitchen tool and not a wood chopper. AEB-L is now my steel of choice for most kitchen tools. I usually prefer steel with good corrosion resistance for kitchen cutlery for ease of maintenance.
