if you make HARD chopping cuts, you WON'T have little bone chips from the ribs. one swipe, one chop.

that first example when he slams down hard from the front of the cleaver, i pierce the chicken with the front and use force to chop the chicken up from the back. i dont get bone chips as long as i dont make more than one cut.

yea, you really shouldn't if you chop down and slam down, cuz the breastbone sternum is a bit spongy and not crumbly. The bone to REALLY look out for imo is the wishbone (collar bone) cuz it's cylindrical and doesn't really connect to anything (comparatively to all the other bones).
But honestly i don't ever serve white ppl, rib cage, they're just not used to the idea of it. (from my experience) however if ppl don't mind, yea the bone to really watch out for is collar bone.

i dont slam anything, i just mildly exert force and with the weight of the cleaver til it cuts through. i can cut a chicken up in short order, but i am by no means lightning fast and i dont want to cut myself badly. that cleaver is fuckin sharp.

it also is a really different way of knife handling, are you using the usually european meat cleaver?
while i have limited use with these, they feel "top" heavy, most of the weight is in front so youre able to use the "belly" of the knife to "chop"
chinese chef knives are different
it's actually way lighter than a meat cleaver, same weight as a regular chef knife actually (just really flat and thin). The chinese way to chop is to use the "heel" of the knife and as you saw "slam" the black of the blade to bite through bone.
Watch that video a few times, but only focus on the heel of the blade, that is what is doing most of the "chopping" work.

its actually more effective than the badboy next to it. cuts pretty much any bone in meat.

Don't trust him, Astro. He's just trying to get you to choke to death on bone splinters.

The Happy Valley WA address doesn't exist. Happy Valley OR looks to be in a suburb of Portland, but Google Maps doesn't show an Arby's there. WTF Arby's! I just want some duck!
