We use the kiwi vegetable cleaver all the time lol. Its the best bang for the buck and if it drops who caresBuzzman19 said:i have used dozens of sharpeners over my lifetime and I'll say most are functional..... to me the root of the problem is poor quality steel in the knives you are purchasing or are available.
I am basically a cleaver guy as I prefer cleavers to butcher knives as I tend to find them with better quality steel which holds an edge and sharpens easily. The funny thing is I have an expensive Cleaver but I most often use a cheap brand from "Kiwi" brand knives and cleavers. They are super cheap and hold an edge and very easy to sharpen. I first bought one at a Thai Grocery I frequent and I ended up buying many different models of this brand.
Just my two cents.

BTW- I have several nice vegetable cleavers between $40- $100. But these are our everyday go to ones.
Ashen said:I have a waterstone setup, if you go that route don't forget to get a lapping/flattening stone for waterstone maintainance. Also a nagura stone is a good investment if you buy fairly hard stones, way easier to work up a good slurry on your wetstone using a nagura.
