This Mercer Cleaver is my daily work horse. She can absolutely annihilate dozens of onions in minutes and does 80% of my prep. I have a Tojiro 210mm gyoto for slicing and a matching 150mm Petty for everything else. I also keep a Kiwi 6" Bunka in my kit as a loaner for my coworkers when needed. Cleavers are fun as fuck especially when you get good with your chopping technique.

Ordered this Mercer chinese cleaver as my new daily driver for my prep job. This will be my first chinese cleaver and will be accompanying my tojiro 210mm gyoto + 120mm petty. Will post pics when it arrives tomorrow. Looking for recommendations for a carbon steel cleaver with a more traditional Chinese handle in the $50 range.
