I am looking for a new general purpose kitchen knife. I have discovered a while back that I prefer more of the cleaver profile as it gives consistent weight at any part of the blade, that weight makes cutting easier, and the higher profile from the edge to the axis of the handle is more comfortable.
So, some examples of what I am looking for would be a "Chinese chef knife," A Japanese "nakiri," Or even a traditional meat cleaver, or perhaps even a Santoku style, though I've never tried one of those yet.
I am setting my budget to $50 for the time being. I know I can get a Victorinox cleaver for that price, an Old Hickory cleaver for half that and so I am certain there's some good stuff in that price range.
Suggestions?
