Available from Seattle Cutlery when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Lighter than a meat cleaver but larger and heavier than a Japanese vegetable knife, the Chinese cleaver or Chinese chef's knife is a no-nonsense tool that is favored throughout much of Asia for its versatility. Its broad blade is made for up-and-down chopping and can handle a variety of vegetables and proteins. Our walnut-handled cleaver is crafted from tough and easy-to-sharpen X50CrMoV15 German stainless steel and features a full-tang, riveted handled with a hole for easy storage.
