Tour content is really helpful for me. I live in Mexico and I've never seen anyone using one of these, I just bought one Chinese cleaver and its on the way :) thank you for so much knowledge.
I saw on reddit the Taiwanese style is called rougui dao 肉桂刀 (cinnamon/cassia knife). Googling the Chinese characters comes up with many of those knives, so it's probably another common name for the style.
I have a Taiwanese style knife from ShiBaZiZuo, and it kinda feels like a hybrid between the Slicing cleaver and a French chef knife. It’s an interesting middle ground.
The smaller blade is very similar to the style that is very popular in Thailand. The larger one is very much a butchers tool. The curved sharpened front edge allows the cutter to push forward and make long cuts when dismantling pigs, etc.
The CCK "豬肉刀 Butcher's Knife" (direct translation: pork knife) KF220x line up have a similar rounded profile but not quite the same, with rounding starting earlier on the CCK giving it a slightly pointer appearance. Their KF220X line up is pretty impressive.
