Anyone use a cleaver when they cook?

Here are the 3 cleavers I use all the time - for the past 35 years

ALL 3 were purchased in food shops in Chinatown in Boston, New York and Montreal.

I use cleaver, santoku, and gyuto. I'm getting a cleaver in good steel so I'll be using it more often I suppose.

I have both a Victorinox cleaver and chef's knife. They were inexpensive and do a great job.

I have a lion marked Sabatier cleaver doing regular duties in our kitchen, which might be seen as a bit odd for vegetarians

Anyone know any good UK sources of big chunks of steel like these?

Santoku covers most of my father's (the chef of the house, he has divine hands when cooking) chopping/cleaving needs.
