I tried and I do not like Chinese cleaver.If I were you I would seriously consider a chuka /Chinese cleaver. You have the finesse of a usuba and if you add a cleaver you can pretty much do any vegetable task.
NiceYes. This one...

You do not need one, but you should buy one. They are lots of fun to use. I'm a big fan.
So I got a Tanaka nakari in blue 2. The ferule is not well adjusted in diameter to the magnolia wood of the handle but OOTB it cut well.The answer to almost all "Do I need...?" questions on this forum is....NO, OF COURSE YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER KNIFE". But the real question is, do you want a nakari? Give it a try. If you don't like it, sell it and get something else. That's the fun part of this hobby (obsession?). I've found that I like bunkas better than nakaris because sometimes you just need a point.
Be well,
Mikey
