Where do I get one? My local Chinese market doesn't carry vegetable cleavers, and I'm afraid to buy a random one from Amazon because seemingly all of them have reviews saying they're meat cleavers not vegetable cleavers and the blade is way too thick and heavy for chopping vegs.

you didn't say you wanted it cheaply. you also didn't say where you lived so would he have known? holy fuck I hate fags like you who make threads asking for advice then proceed to shit on every reply because of reasons that you never stated and would have effected our replies. if you want good advice then give us the fucking info we need dipshit.

Get a cheap Winco from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UBE7JY/ is ten bucks and works fine as a multitasker.

It's actually a little lighter than the equivalent CCK other anon recommended, and nearly the exact weight per inch of blade.

I own two of those and they're heavy as shit. I fear them coming down on my finger by accident.

Little bit too harsh.

Anyway, >>10803388 look at CKTG and try to find replicants on !A. I mean, not a lot of ppl here are going to have sage advice so look at reviews at CKTG and try to find on amazon. Or go to the knife forum and read reviews there.

A professional knife sharpener recommended Knifewear and Paul's Finest to me as maple syrup alternatives to CKTG. The former is for weeaboos but the latter has some chinese cleavers.

Also, with so many Chinese restaurants around and with the knife shape being popular enough with chefs of all stripes, you should be able to just pop in to any restaurant supply store and find a bunch of cleavers hung up in the knife section.

I bought a cheap one at Wholesale Club and I'm quite happy with it.

YOu coul also get any cleaver you want then send it to a professional knife sharpener or knife smith to have it thinned out on a belt sander. It's a bit of a hassle but the results are usually more than worth it. It will be better than any Chinese cleaver you can buy from the factory. Ask on kitchenknifeforums.com for reputable businesses.

Mercer makes a damn good Chinese cleaver it is razor sharp and has lasted me several years. Dexter makes a slightly inferior but cooler looking one. Dalstrong also makes them.
