I'm taking a mini vacation at the beach, and around here there are a bunch of wandering salesmen, selling handmade items: sundresses, straw hats, and, more rarely... knifes.
I bought two handcrafted cleavers from a guy earlier today. One of them is a regular, weighty cleaver, and the other one is smaller and more rounded and works like a Santoku knife.
Both are made from plow disks, which are made from a high carbon steel that holds the edge a lot better than regular steel. They are also made from a single metal piece that goes all the way through the handle, have handles made from real wood and come in leather sheats (real leather, not PU or whatever other fake plastic shit manufacturers use nowadays).
Honestly, they are higher quality than some fancy "chef knifes" I bought a few years back, and they cost only around 40 bucks for the two pieces.
