Oh no i got a nakiri with a wood handle of some sort. I wouldn't buy an actual cleaver cause i have no need for one and neither does anyone in my house. It's a nice all around knife and i have about a year with it i think. Haven't replace it because it has yet to chip or become very dull but i hone it on a stone on the occasion. But when I do replace it, it'll be less than a McDonald's meal in price.

My grandmother honed on her stone kitchen steps. When she passed away her knives were sharp, old, half the size my father remembered.

The top step was worn almost to nothing.

That’s not honing though. That’s sharpening. A honing rod is metal and reshapes the blade edge to make it sharp again by aligning the point. Stones sharpen the blade by removing metal.
