HSS cleaver

[kurwamac]

Other than the size/lack of interest, does anyone know why there aren't any veggie cleavers in steels like HAP40, ZDP, R2, and the like? I blow through cleavers like underwear, but the only options seem to be cheap stainless, or expensive steels high in reactivity.:scratchhead:

u can custom order them from some japan makers but they cost a fortune haha

Hard steels are a niche thing in the cleaver game. I've got some in vtoku and one in Cowry-X but they are discontinued these days in favor of vg-10 and sometimes v-gin.
