Review on Hand-Forged Full-Tang Cleaver Knife With Middle Thickness Blade For Meat And Vegetable Cutting - Ideal For Chinese Kitchen Chef, Home Kitchen Use by Matthew Shankar

The interplay between the kind of food being prepared and the tools used to prepare it is a study all by itself. I admire Asian in this regard, both the food and the tools. A sushi chef’s knife is intended for and suited to slicing raw fish, good for that task quite particularly. Same with a Chinese cook’s cleaver/chopping knife, designed over the years for cutting up meat and chopping vegetables small for incorporation in soups, stir fry, and other food meant to be eaten with chopsticks.I don’t particularly cook Chinese all that frequently, but the general-purpose nature of the tool makes it handy for a lot of kitchen chores that your basic chef’s knife will do ok, but could be done better. This one fits the bill as an extension of my basic tool kit.
