OP is missing a recommendation for a low/mid-price meat cleaver - any reason not to grab a $25 Victorinox from a restaurant supply store? Might pick up a gyuto to replace my chef's knife, but I understand cutting bone might cause it to chip. I occasionally use my Wusthof to split chicken breasts or break apart carcasses but I wouldn't be trying to hack through anything tougher than poultry.

I really like the CCK #1 Kitchen Chopper (KF1201) for poultry bones and that kind of thing. I think the only place you can buy CCK cleavers online is cktg and their prices (at least on CCK cleavers) has gotten silly lately, but if you have a Chinatown within driving distance you can probably find a place that'll sell you one for less.

Thanks to both of you, I'll check on those. I looked at the CCK cleavers on CKTG and the vegetable cleaver is now $70 instead of $40 like in the OP, with some complaints of poor workmanship. I think the Winco above will fit my needs just fine but I do have a Chinatown in my area so might as well look around :shepspends:
