Newbie here....
I have been doing some research but could not find any reviews about the Hattori vg10 cleaver. I have many Spyderco knives that are vg10 and it has performed well over the years but most of them are under 4" long folders. The Hattori is 8" x 4" and I want to train myself to use the cleaver for most if not all of my cutting needs (no bones) and sell off most of my other knives, So I want one of high quality and well made that will last me many years. There are many cleavers that are made from vg10 cladding from $75 to $300; shun, ran, Zhen etc. but was only able to find Hattori making a solid vg10..
1) I would like some opinions on the Hattori cleaver from users?
2) are there better options for stainless cleavers with out going to the custom market ?
3) want to keep the price under $400 if possible!
Thanks
