In my opinion, an Asian cleaver is an excellent tool, particularly for asian food prep.
Great for cutting even sizes or shredding veg for stir fries.
Different knife techniques used compared to a curved western blade, due to its weight and flatter blade profile with sharp squared off tip.

Also it works as a board scraper to transfer your finely chopped and shredded meat and veg to the pan or mise en place ready for cooking, which is so practical.
