Chinese Cleaver
These are the all-purpose, go-to knives for insanely skilled Chinese chefs, but have gained popularity the world over for their sturdy, flat, endlessly adaptable design. It's a lighter, sharper version of the standard butcher's cleaver (so don't try to hack through bone, or you'll ruin the blade), which allows for both heavy chopping and careful detail work. You can breeze through heads of cabbage and three-inch steaks like they're nothing, and then finely dice, score, filet, trim, flatten, and scoop up your smaller ingredients with ease. Pinch the heel of the blade with your thumb and index finger, grip the handle with the rest of your hand, and have at it.
