I gotta tell ya, as of right now it gets used every day. It's thin enough for choppin' and slicin' veggies and I've dismembered more chickens than I can count, so far. My daughter's BF lives with us and he does a lot of the cookin' in the house along with my daughter, ( they both have luncheonette experience so they're both very good cooks) he takes care of it like the fine tool it is. He hand washes it when he's done and then meticulously dries it and puts it away on it's own spot on a hook over the kitchen counter. I'm actually quite impressed he appreciates it, uses it at my home and takes care of it for me. Maybe when the kids move out and get their own place someday I'll give it to them as a housewarming gift. He's already eyin' up my perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet.
If you do a lot of meat and food processin' and the big monster 7 lb monster cleaver seems too heavy, the Fletcher Karniboro is well worth the money and won't disappoint. The CPM 154 is reasonably stain resistant although it will rust if left out wet and in a damp environment but with minimal care will last a lifetime. It takes a great edge and is easy to maintain with my regular kitchen sharpening stuff, a fine diamond hone and a ceramic hone followed by my strop. Only when it needs it though, so far a few swipes on my ceramic hone is all it needs to come back to bein' able to push cut newsprint.
