I am a complete hack in the kitchen. I am not being faux-modest; I burn most everything and am definitely not a foodie. But I like tools, and knives/cleavers are tools.
I have a Chinese cleaver, a CCH from chefknivestogo. I thought I would like the cleaver form factor more than a big knife, but a 10” chef’s knife wins for me. I do think the cleaver is faster to handle than, say, a 7” santoku, but a 10” chef’s is somehow very nimble and efficient for me for cutting anything.
But. I am a hack. Remember that.
