Blade Type

A Chinese cleaver, known as a Cai Dao, is a multipurpose kitchen knife traditional in Chinese cuisine. Characterized by its large, rectangular blade, it excels in chopping, slicing, and mincing. Despite its robust appearance, it's designed for precision tasks, from slicing meat to finely mincing herbs and vegetables.

Great cleaver

Have purchased 2 for each of my mates house-warming parties. Definately need one for myself :')

Outstanding Knife

Not too weighty, comfortable to hold, slices through most foods with great ease.

Amazing cleaver, I use it for almost everything now

CCK

Very sharp, easy and nice to handle.
Can't wait to get the carbon cleaver.
Thankyou!

CCK greatness

Beautiful knife. Well crafted, feels great, super sharp out the box.

Definitely not as sharp as the carbon cleaver, I definitely prefer the carbon cleaver over the stainless. Just wanted to have both types of cleaver in my kitchen, but wasn't very sharp at all so I've had to give it some love on the stone.
Looks A1 for visuals.

We're very happy with our cleaver.
Very light, sharp, and great to use.
Would recommend it to our friends anyway.

Well Loved Gift

Bought as a gift, and well loved by the recipient!

Pretty awesome

Good performer, light and forward balanced, and worth every penny for the convenience of its scoop-ability!

Great

After a few weeks of using this knife its one of my favorite. Its comfortable to use, you (naturally) have a lot of space for your fingers and its just a blast cutting veggies with it. One "downside" is that it wasnt very sharp when it arrived. But after a quick touch up on my stone that was fixed. But other than that i think its an amazing and very affordable knife. If I could I'd give its 4.5 stars, but that isnt possible
