The Chinese Knife

The Chinese knife - sometimes called a Chinese cleaver - is one of the most versatile blades in any kitchen. Its broad, rectangular blade is used for slicing, chopping, mincing, and crushing, and the wide flat of the blade doubles as a bench scraper for transferring ingredients. At 225mm and 560g, this is a substantial knife with real presence in the hand. Tojiro's VG10 core delivers the hardness and edge retention that the steel is known for, while the 13-chrome stainless steel cladding provides corrosion resistance and makes the knife easy to maintain. The natural wood handle is comfortable and traditional. This is the thin-blade variant - designed for slicing and general prep rather than heavy chopping or bone work.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only, never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing - natural wood handles are sensitive to prolonged moisture
• Hone regularly to maintain the edge
• Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
• Not suitable for chopping through bone - this is a thin-blade variant designed for slicing and prep
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade
