Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I mean, the caidao will serve this function perfectly. It's basically just a thinner cleaver that's better at all tasks other than going through bone.
Ah gotcha. I probably should have looked at a picture of a caidao before speaking ๐
It's just a very thin knife with an edge ground at a low angle. So you tend to slice rather than chop or hack. Cleavers usually have higher angle bevels and thicker blades so there is more material behind the edge to absord impacts and keep chips short.
Very few vegetables are tough enough that a good slicing knife is the wrong tool.
