Kotai Chinese cleaver

Japanese precision, Western robustness. The best of both worlds. The wide blade of the Chinese cleaver (Chukabocko) is ideal for slicing large pieces of meat, preparing spare ribs, or quickly chopping hard vegetables. The flat surface of the blade is also excellent for crushing garlic, nuts, or ginger. Thanks to the wide blade, it can safely hold your chopped and sliced ingredients and transfer them into a container or pan. Slicing, chopping, dicing, julienne, brunoise... Good cooking starts with precise cutting. The sharp 15-degree edge ensures that delicate ingredients are never crushed and always retain their freshness.
