I want to buy one of those large Chinese knives (cleaver)

WLM21

Where can I buy one of those large Chinese knives, one of those cleaver type of knife.
I suppose I could try a Chinese supermarket, but as there isn't one nearby I thought I could try online first.
Thanks for any input.

I bought this one: http://www.theasiancookshop.co.uk/chinese-cleaver-chopper-8929-p.asp

For the price it seemed very good, although I didn't get to use it for long. It gave my wife nightmares and I was forced to get rid of it.

I do still have the wok I bought from that site though - it's a big, sturdy thing with a proper round bottom, and wasn't expensive, so on that basis I'd say that the site has some good products.

Nay, I only had experience with online Chinese supermarket. More often than not I would consider this online store, ukcnshop. (Recommended by one of my Chinese friends)

OP, they also sell cleaver. http://www.ukcnshop.com/en/sbzzqd.html
