I have 3 good cleavers, also a very old french/chef's knife that
belonged to mom. Used to be my regular veggie prep knife until I got
spoiled by the chinese chef's knife (small cleaver). :-)

A bread knifed with a serrated edge is also in there. Not sure of the
brand. I inherited a lot of knives from mom including a lovely carving
set from solingen germany with staghorn handles.....
