Light cleavers seem to be made of better stuff but are really best for chopping vegetables. My 12 inch 1960s style butcher knife outperforms any of these choices. Heavy enough to cut anything, light enough to not be tiring (12 ounces). With this knife, we do not need to chop. We slice. I got my rust covered one cheap at the local flea market but they're still made of high quality carbon steel in the USA for ~$60. Blade shape is an isosceles triangle with tapering thickness – very thin at the tip. If you've ever seen a butcher at work, you've seen this style of knife.

They are not designed the same and do not do the same jobs. Seriously lame video. Chris Kimble would never have allowed this. Now that ATK has turned into a Three-Chicks-Cooking show, the quality of the material has steadily eroded. They are even selling their books on QVC now and discounting their material by as much as 80%. They are just another discount, low-budget media company now and won't last much longer.

I have a set of the Shun knives and would never buy one made in Communist China.

This gives much more control and power. An over hand swing works but is kind of wild.

Asian cleaver shaped blades are thin fine blades for slicing and light chopping not for bone.

Arm tired already? Really?
