  Long-lasting, sharp edge for cutting meat, fruit, and vegetables (DO NOT chop bones)

  The one reason I want a cleaver is to cut bones. :-(

    Exactly. Otherwise might as well just get a good nakiri

      Go to your local Asian market and find one that feels good in your hand and has a bit of heft. You don’t want hard, expensive steel that’s prone to shattering and difficult to sharpen. You want softer cheaper steel that will bend rather than break. It will lose its edge quicker but can be sharpened more easily. You also don’t need to be a master blade sharpener, as consistency of angle isn’t as important for a knife that’s just meant to chop bones.

      I grabbed one of these. The weight was roughly what I was after (mostly used for chicken) and it was made in Brazil.

    In Chinese cookery there’s a cleaver that’s basically the equivalent of a chefs knife - an all rounder that does all the slicing chopping and finesse work, and a heavy cleaver that’s for chopping bones. It seems this one is going for the former market.

      Chineseum?

    In this case the claims might be true.. VG10 used to be a "premium steel" and takefu would sell it to premium knife brands like shun and the like. These days it isn't considered the latest and greatest anymore and is pretty affordable, so Chinese manufacturers can get 3-layer stock with a VG10 core from Japan pretty cheaply… which is better than random Chinesium… the difference will be in the fit and finish of the final blade as well as the heat treatment and factory edge.
