Chinese Cleavers
Chinese Cleaver Knives Collection
The Chinese cleaver is a versatile kitchen knife known for its tall, rectangular blade, making it ideal for slicing, chopping, mincing, and precision vegetable preparation. The large blade allows for safe guidance with the knuckles, ensuring accuracy when tap chopping, push cutting, and pull cutting. If you love cooking Chinese cuisine, a Chinese Cleaver is an essential tool in your kitchen.
Important Note: Our Japanese-made Chinese Cleavers are crafted with thin, hard steel and are specifically designed for vegetable preparation. These cleavers are not suitable for cutting through bone. If you require a cleaver for butchery, please refer to the product description for models explicitly designed for cutting meat.
Why Choose a Chinese Cleaver?
Chinese Cleavers typically feature blade lengths between 180mm and 220mm, with an average height of around 100mm. Their weight varies from light 300g models to heavier 900g blades, offering options for both delicate slicing and heavy-duty chopping.
Their large, weighted blades make them ideal for:
- Effortlessly slicing large vegetables like cabbage
- Precision mincing of herbs and aromatics
- Chopping fruits and vegetables with ease
- Scraping ingredients off the cutting board
