That's OK you won't really need the other knives if you have a good cleaver!

Mine won't fit in my knife drawer, so I have it hanging on the nearby wall.
No knife rack here. I just keep the cleaver on the counter ready to use.
Maybe I’ll get a holster made for one and wear it, always at the ready. Chop! Chop!

Just don't do the proverbial, "He brought a knife to a gunfight."

I'm no fan of Chinese cleavers or specifically Chinese with cleavers. Back in the early 90s in Shekou my MD and I were chased down the street by a guy with a cleaver after refusing to pay more than HK$ 100 for two small beers and a bowl of peanuts.

Bringing a gun to a knife fight? Shades of Butch and Sundance.
The whole story was that we'd been to a meeting in Shekou which finished earlier than anticipated at 11:00. Our ferry back to Hong Kong was at 14:00 so we sought out a bar. Unfortunately we were not familiar with the area and ended up unintentionally in a whorehouse (at midday!). Anyway, we were charged HK$ 40.00 for each beer. HK$ 45.00 for peanuts (which we didn't order) and HK$ 5.00 each for serviettes. We threw HK$ 100.00 on the table and did a runner.
Maybe he was just trying to split the difference.
