I have 3 cleavers a small one I use daily for veggie chopping I got with
my wok from the wok shop. A medium size for mild meat use and a horking
biggie for the cutting of bones (both from lee valley). I really enjoy
the little cleaver and do use it a great deal. The other two get limited
use as I live alone and rarely butcher a whole steer or chop up the wiley
chicken.
