    9 inch is too big for many.

    • how many cm is that?

    • +2

      Not really

  • +6

    Pretty all I use is a Chinese cleaver in kitchen. You can julienne vegetables super fast with it, like a pro.

  • +2

    I have this, it's good.

    Needed a little sharpening on purchase, used the bottom of a ceramic mug and achieved good results.

    • +7

      Clicks on knife bargain, learns sharpening technique

  • Had one before,works better than my $300 Shun Primer.

      This is exactly my suspicions as I would suspect harder steel is actually better.

    • +4

      FWIW you're IMHO being a tad unfairly hammered for a relatively benign comment. There's pro's and con's for SS vs carbon steel - I have chinese cleavers in both - find myself reaching for the SS more often as it's just quicker and easier to clean after usage.

      So SS does have its merits - but you didn't make some horrible gaffe (IMHO). :-)

      • +3

        I'm a Chef and both have their pros and cons. Simply put:

        SS:
        Pros: Softer steel - doesn't take forever to put an edge on it
        Cons: For med use, easy to take the edge off

        Carbon:
        Pros: Stays sharper longer
        Cons: If you let it go too far, you're going to spend a long time getting the edge back on it. Moisture is a killer: rust

  • I need advice as I'm ok with knowing about normal knives. But cleavers are a whole different beast.. sharpness is less important as it's used like a hammer.
    I was originally looking ath the global g12 but that's $$160 or so.. furi have one for $62.. and then there's the above. So knife experts how do I choose a good cleaver?

    • +3

      This knife is not used like a hammer, it's used like a western chef's knife - not in form, but utility. I use mine for everything as a home cook

      • I need a cleaver as a cleaver though not as a vegetable cutter or chefs knife. Any thoughts?

        • +1

          What's your use case?

          • @rosebank: Cutting things like chicken wings etc to use for making fried chicken

            • +1

              @maverickjohn: You can use a boning knife for that. But if you want a cleaver, I wouldn't get a Global (I don't rate Global at all). Get the 6.7in https://www.amazon.com.au/SHI-BA-ZI-ZUO-Chopping/dp/B08NYFZV… for $38, that's more than enough for chicken wings. Unless you want the 1kg 8in lol

              • @rosebank: Yeah that's probably enough. A boning knife is more useful for deboning in my opinion. As in remove the flesh from the bone. The one you linked seems good though.

                • +1

                  @maverickjohn: A chicken only has soft joints in the legs and wings. I can break down a chook with pretty much any knife, but a boning knife is the best because like you said, it's better at separating flesh from the bone leaving just the frame which I use for stock. You can cut the 2 joints in a wing with a good pair of shears.

          Go to any decent Asian grocery store and pickup a clever from them , they cost around $10-15 and good for rough use , you do however need to sharpen them regularly, depending upon your use.

          • @Daddy74: Was going to ask this exactly - how different are these compared to the Kiwi knives that seem to be found everywhere?

          • @Daddy74: That's also fine might consider that as an option but rosebanks one is also not bad for $38

        • +8

          Westerners get thrown by this - as for them cleavers are for chopping bones etc - but for Asians they have 2 different types a slice cleaver -= which is as stated essentially their chefs knife and then a bone or heavy cleaver, which is for what westerners associate with cleavers - chopping through bones etc.

          Completely different tools that only have their side profile and term cleaver in common, I have both - good asian stores will have both. A good cook will have both as very handy but don't try to use the wrong one for the others task as it will end badly.

          • +1

            @Daniel Plainview: Exactly. But I have a good knife set for the veggies such as the nakiri etc. I just don't have one for cutting three joint chicken wings etc and I don't want to destroy my globals for that.

    • +2

      Every Furi I've owned (i.e. a set) has been soft rubbish, so I'd avoid that

      • I also had that feeling and normally I'd avoid it. But as the use case entails, I need something decent for cutting bones etc so something tough would be good.. I might get the g12 global as they at least promote it for the intended use that I needed it for

  • Only the 9 inch is 24% off it seems?

    • +2

      So it's only 6.8 inch?

      • I see what you did there

      • I wish

  • "Non-stick coating"?

  • +2

    I got a 8-inch one and basically no longer using any of the other knives (Tojiro, Furi) in the kitchen.

    I used so many cleaver kitchen knife but this is not a good quality one. Bought almost a year ago from Amazon. Use it daily as normal, I cleaned and placed the knife into my plastic dish drying rack. It would have water in the tray which touching the knife edge. This knife start rusting on the edge. If the knife use good quality stainless steel, this type of water would not cause any rusting so easily. All other cleaver knife I used won’t happen this way. The quality of the stainless steel material is not the top one.

      Potentially uses a lower chromium stainless steel, which doesn't necessarily mean low quality. I have a good knife like that, so I just make sure I hand dry it after washing every time.

    • +1

      You are obviously not getting top quality steels at this price, but basically all high carbon stainless steels in high end knives will rust if you leave them wet. High carbon alloys are used so that the steel is harder at the cost of corrosion resistance.

  • Question as a noob. I use santoku knife for pretty much everything in my kitchen. Mainly for vegetables. How is this better than Santoku?

    • it's mainly about handling.
      The way you hold and cut with each of them is very different.
      I wouldn't say one is better than the other rather each person has their own preference

  • +1

    Be careful that these knives are very heavy, and imo too big to handle for most, 6-7 inches is already plenty (and probably has a better personality too)

    If you put a nice edge on these and also round down the sharp edges at the top a bit, these make very good knives.

  • Note that this is a 桑刀 (Sang Dao), which is primarily used for thin, delicate slicing. You won't want to use it like a bone cleaver. AFAIK there's different categories of Chinese cleavers, each with their own purposes (I have at least 3 types).

    • +1

      If you want a more versatile type, a 斩切刀 (Zhan Qie Dao) like this would be a better option:

      • @YellowWiggle I was looking at the one you mentioned. Do you have it.. Any good? Thanks

        • +1

          I've got a different model of the same category from the same brand that's used for everyday prep. It's front heavy, which I prefer for slicing and chopping.

  • Discount is gone

    • It's there for me now
