The one on the top is my all time favourite and it has been used for just about everything. It has a wooden handle which is getting very worn due to use and the dishwasher butt considering it was part of a wedding gift and we have been married over forty years, then I guess it is entitled to be showing some age.
The cleaver on the bottom was a buy that I made in China after doing a cooking class and this was used to chop the food as well as transferring the food to the wok. I use it but only for big amounts and it makes a fantastic pizza cutter. It has English and Chinese writing on it.
The middle one is the one that I am using more and more now, it is one piece of steel and has a story to it. Last year when we were in China, every twenty yuan spent buying food at a certain store, you were given a stamp, as we bought imported yoghurt, the money soon toted up (20yuan was equal to approx $4). Once a sheet was filled with the stamps, you could exchange them for some type of knife, I selected this one and bought it home packed in the suitcase of course. It is a beautifully weighted knife and easy to use, luckily I have not cut myself with it as it is very sharp
