Cleavers do many things.  Id do the very heavy work with a BB&B cleaver  ( 20 % Off !)  there kind you would find in the blister-packed section.

 

don't spend a lot there, just not too little.  If you ever get to a real Chinatown, they have all steel cleavers there that are numbers.  get one of theses, or a blister-pack

 

BB cleaver of the same size or the next one up.  thats for the heavy work.

 

use this one for finer things :  soft chicken-bone chop-ups, etc

 

look the Global over for nicks.  use any magnifying glass you have or borrow one 10 x or 20 x is all you need in good light.

 

Globals are gems for balance , holding a very sharp edge if used carefully etc.

 

I don't know what Golbal itself recommends for the edge angle for the cleaver, but you might Google that up.

 

go to a decent knife store if you can find one in your area, or consider 

 

if you want to have a great deal of fun go here :

that's where I learned so much about Global Steel.

 

best of luck.

 

of course, store it carefully as you would any fine knife os the edge does not get damaged in storage
