Lowest on CamelCamelCamel.
One more to round up my collection. It's a good supplement to my 8in chef knives, gyuto, santoku and kiwis.

It's kind of triangular with a groove down the middlle …
Full tang I guess.
These are pretty godly. Just be aware they feel quite dangerous to use and nobody will want to be within 10 metres of you.
True story.
looks like the 7 inch knife is more suitable for me.
Chinese cleavers are rectangle, if that's what you're after this is the better option: https://www.amazon.com.au/Chinese-Vegetable-6-7-inch-Stainleā¦
Same weight as this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/Chinese-Superior-Stainless-Ergonomā¦
Don't worry about steel type
I have a mate who is a serious knife nerd - blade sharpening is one of his "passions"; he has, and really rates, this specific knife.
So, I just bought one - cheers OP.
is this different to "SHI BA ZI ZUO 8" Cleaver $33.10" from last fortnight?
Cleaver is for chopping bones. Itās thicker and a lot heavier
There's all cleavers. The other one is heavier but more of an all-purpose knife, not only for chopping bones.
ok thanks, just the photo looks the same
Does anyone have any experience with the 7ā chef knife? Could be a better daily option at a slightly lower price point.

Depends on what shape you want. Chinese cleavers are rectangle. Try this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/Chinese-Vegetable-6-7-inch-Stainleā¦ nicer handle too
Would rather get the 9": https://www.amazon.com.au/Professional-Stainless-Vegetable-Nā¦ for a dollar more
Can someone tell me where do they put this big knife in? Any holder recommendation?
A mate uses a magnetic holder for his larger knives. I have a knife block that has those little black flex rods in them, makes the block universal.
Get some mineral oil for the handle too
What sort of sharpener would suit this?
Better getting a whetstone. The expired Shapton Pro #1000 Amazon JP deal was an extremely good buy. That might be an overkill for this veg cleaver, but it's universally recommended budget quality stone for any German steel and Japanese VG10 if you branch out or upgrade later.
I learnt a lot from @rosebank. Maybe you can check out his comments in other posts.
a good price for the recommending 80Cr13 type
Thank goodness they got the spelling right.
Interesting to see what a Sha Bi knife would look like. šÆ
