I worked with a Chinese guy Tin Fu he taught me a lot including some cleaver skills.

Clever guy? Then you must know Chef Wang; great recipes, great wok skills, amazing clever technique

He's an amazing chef. I enjoy watching his videos because the jaw-drop factor is way up there.

Sounds like someone secretly wants a Serbian cleaver.

Rectangular all the way.

Rectangular all the way.

Petty = Gyuto for grandma

Sujihiki = Gyuto for tall counters

Gyuto = Horse Carriage Horse

Nakiri = tipped Gyuto

Cleaver = really tall, tipped Gyuto

Santoku = short Gyuto, with Serbian cleaveresque tip

The amount of santoku/bunka love is a little surprising.
