    I want a knife like this, but how am I supposed to store it? It won't fit into my IKEA knife block thing.

      I got one of those magnetic knife racks to hang my big knives on the wall, works like a charm

        I'm not sure I can trust a magnet 100% to hold my big sharp knives. How do they even work?!

        But seriously, thanks and I'll look into getting one hung on my wall.

          They're big strong magnets, they pull your knives so hard they slap onto it. Also kind of hard to pull them off, I don't like them for that reason.

          Be sure to mount it so it's across the wall in front of you. I mounted one on a wall alongside the counter and sliced my fingernail reaching past it

      A lot of knife blocks on Amazon by Chinese sellers/brands will have a cleaver slot as well.

      I have a knife roll bag but sometimes I just use the box my cai dao came in. Fits in my backpack just fine. To work, back home.

      Alternatively you can do what real Chinese grandmas do and just leave the knife on top of the chopping board after cleaning.

      I just leave it on the counter because it's the only one I ever use anymore.
