This cleaver is special. Really nice handle and love the clean blade aesthetic. Kanji is very clean. The reactive cladding is mild so (relatively) won't rust easily if negligent. What's really unique is if you tap your knuckle on it the blade will ring like a bell. Actually very beautiful and I can't help but reach for it every time. Love, love, love it.
