Hi folks. Thanks for letting me join your forum. I have been a long time gatherer of good quality kitchen, folding, and hunting knives. I have a lot of knives and have used every one of them at least once.
I just found this cleaver the other day at a moving sale. The people were from Viet Nam and when I asked them if they had any good knives the grandma brought out this cleaver. They said she got it on her last trip to Viet Nam. it was still wrapped in a Vietnamese newspaper
My picture didn’t make it. Will have to try again

No question. Just wanted to show picture of new blade but I’m having trouble posting it. Been a long time since I posted on any forums.

I used to watch "Yan Can Cook" with Chef Martin Yan. Super entertaining.

I watched him do everything with a cleaver, and swore if I ever learned to cook I was gonna get myself a badass cleaver for most of my kitchen work.

Never really got into cooking, so the cleaver never materialized in my kitchen drawer.

But it sure was amazing to watch. Get that picture up, I'd love to see it.

What's used by Martin Yan and in about a billion households is called a Chinese knife, which is thinner than a cleaver. They feel lighter and easier to control in the hand vs typical Western cleavers meant to only chop & sever.
