A bit lighter than a meat cleaver but larger and heavier than most other knives, the Chinese cleaver or Chinese chef's knife is a no-nonsense tool that is favored throughout much of Asia for its versatility. Its rectangular blade is made for up-and-down chopping and can handle a variety of vegetables and proteins. Our rosewood-handled cleaver features a relatively thick, heavy blade that excels at processing meat, but is still capable of delicate vegetable chopping in skilled hands. It is crafted from tough and easy-to-sharpen X50CrMoV15 German stainless steel with a riveted, full-tang handle.

I am a home chef who was telling my kids about an early cooking inspiration, Martin Yan, and the “Yan Can Cook!” segments on local 80’s news in the Bay Area decades ago. We watched some old videos and we’re mesmerized by his cleaver skills, and the versatility of the blade. I am thoroughly satisfied with the Nakiyo cleaver’s performance. Barlely glanced my finger and drew blood. Don’t know why it’s called a vegetable cleaver when it glides through de-steaking a 2.5 inch thick porterhouse, and makes butchering whole chickens so easy. Best technique is Martin Yan’s method to mince garlic! So happy with my purchase.
Great knife
