Dao Vua V3 52100 Chinese Cleaver 210mm
For those that venture outside of Japanese-made kitchen knives, a few minutes scouring the internet will lead you to the remarkable brand Dao Vua. Known for their handmade knives, Dao Vua has quickly taken the internet and market by storm.
Dao Vua knives are handcrafted in Hanoi, Vietnam by skilled Vietnamese bladesmiths. These artisans repurpose high-quality materials to forge the blades. Dao Vua's knives stand out for their exceptional construction and sharpness. However, they are high-maintenance due to their carbon steel construction, which oxidizes easily and needs to be kept dry.
Addressing customer concerns about the consistency of recycled materials, Dao Vua's third iteration, "V3", introduces premium 52100 carbon steel sourced from the US. Dao Vua is an exciting Vietnamese knife company that consistently meets user demands and expectations.
The V3 Chinese Cleaver is not your typical meat cleaver. Designed as a vegetable knife, or "caidao", this blade boasts a forward-heavy design and a relatively thick spine, making it perfect for chopping even the largest cabbages. Its 210mm blade length and 94mm blade height make it a highly versatile kitchen tool.

Customer Reviews
Got my Dao Vua cleaver in recently and it's one of the best knives I've ever owned in its price range. It came wicked sharp(paid for the sharpening, Tokushu did a good job) and clean. The handle is sturdy and feels good in the hand. I like the patina on the back half of the blade, gives it character. 5/5 I'm probably getting a few more of their carbon steel knives in the future.
Great knife so far.
A lot of good carbon steel that will last beyond my years. Nice, rustic, and strong. A bit of over grind mostly on one side and I scrubbed off what kurouchi I could since it was flaky but I wasn't interested in a perfect blade. For me this knife is for more tough tasks and I'll use my Japanese knives for the typical stuff.
This is a not a thin "1303" type slicer. Thicker general purpose style. If you want higher performance stainless clad go Chopper King.
Perfect project cleaver. I’m loving the steel, was looking for something with a little more edge retention then my ck and flatter then my sugi. This fits the bill perfectly, definitely keeps that biting edge longer. The steel is super tough too! I accidentally gave my tongs a good whack and to my surprise there was almost no edge deformation! Literally LESS then a hairs width of micro chipping, and that was after ruining out the edge a good bit! Favorite cleaver so far
