Cleavers

[Ken S]

No mention has been made of "Chinese" cleavers.  These are lighter weight cleavers designed primarily for cutting vegetables.  I eat very little meat, so my need is for vegetables.  My Chinese cleaver does this very well.  It does a great job of cutting cabbage.  A more acute edge, maybe combined forty degrees, should work well for these knives.  Next time I sharpen it, I will try my version of the Ionut/Herman jig.  I store it in a plastic edge guard from Lee Valley, as it does not fit inmost wooden knife blocks.

I recommend photobucket.  Very easy to use.  Even I could figure it out.

Recently I posted a heap of threads re photobucket and how to get it to render pics in this forum. That should save you some time

[Herman Trivilino]

Yes, that was very helpful. Thanks, Rob.
