Chinese chef knife
Chinese cleaver / cai dao / chuka-bocho knifes are awesome!
I own a Tojiro Fuji Cutlery Chinese Style Cleaver.
My search
My notes from when I was looking for one to purchase.
My search criteria:
Wooden handle that would sort of match my Japanese knives.
Stainless steel. The harder Japanese knives with VG10 are cool but more prone to chips and chips on a big cleaver shape seem more problematic to me.

From what I've seen the CCK and Stainless steel Tojiro are some of the best.

Stainless steel Tojiro

I think sometimes it is soled under the Fuji name, Fuji Cutlery FA-70.
