An interesting observation. :-) I've deboned turkey and chicken using
the small cleaver and you are correct, it is much easier than using any
other knife due to it's balance. It also keeps a helluva edge with just
a bit of honing as needed.

I've only cut myself badly with it twice. <g> And both times, it was my
own fault for not following knife safety rules. "Thou shalt NOT cut
TOWARDS thyself!"
