Does anyone use or have a recommended brand for a Chinese cleaver?

Just don't. We don't need another white guy buying a cleaver and then shitposting on /ck/ two days later because he didn't know how to properly use his cleaver.

Spend $20 a year on knives and throw them away when they are blunt or buckled

Chinese cleaver meme is dead, nice try though.

Real Chinese don't care about what non-Chinese think about our people or culture (unless a blatant infraction, e.g., tourist behavior).

I like it when non-Chinese show an interest in the mundane things.

Too late, it's a meme now. Blame Yan-can-cook and /r/cooking.

it's like any knife. A sharpened hunk of metal. Anything of similar weight with decent steel will perform nearly identically for home use. And it's a fucking cleaver. Modern steels whether stainless or carbon are barely going to perform differently for the vast majority of people. Rather than worrying about buying a knife hand forged by monks in Tibet you should just learn proper knife maintenance and stop making these wankfest knife threads.

Anglo Revisionism strikes again

Sugimoto is a really good one imo. But im just curious, why does it need to hack through the bone...? I never did understood that because i usually just cut through the joints. And my deba does that just fine. So im wondering what sort of dishes require you to hack through a bone.

WINCO are more than acceptable, I have this very knife and I love it

OP here, I decided to say fuck it and just buy this one. It's cheap and will give me a basic idea on whether or not the style is worth a higher investment. If it's shit then whatever, I can spare the thirteen dollars.

dexter is good enough and cheap.

You can buy a super expensive brand later if you like it. (Shun, etc....

Or just fucking sharpen your knives and buy something with decent fit and finish, with a full tang so it actually makes it through the year.
Why don't you just buy one $20 knife, or get some shit at a thrift store and have it professionally sharpened by a friend?
