Now days I wouldn’t worry about country of origin so much as the shape of the blade, size, weight, composition and shape of the handle. Currently China, like any other country, produces everything from excellent to crap, but for something like a cleaver as long as you like it’s specs your chances of getting a fine product from China are good.
Personally I would avoid knives made in Pakistan, but made in China blades are most likely fine. Of course there are always going to be exceptions but Chinese products can be a good deal as their labor costs are lower.
If you get one, please let us know what you think!
