SHI BA ZI ZUO Kitchen Knife Professional Chef Knife Stainless Steel Vegetable Knife Safe Non-stick Finish Blade with Anti-slip Wooden Handle (9 inch)

Ist erst mal gewohnheitsbedürftig wegen des Gewichtes, aber schneidet einfach nur wie durch Butter

Excellent quality, and very useful

I've recently converted to Chinese cleavers, replacing many of my traditional (including very expensive) Western and Japanese chef’s knives. At first glance, they may seem cumbersome and intimidating, but with proper technique (YouTube is your friend!), they become incredibly versatile, efficient, and perfect for delicate, fine slicing tasks. This affordable cleaver is an excellent entry point for anyone curious about this style of knife. Simply put, I’m thrilled with it and highly recommend it to avid cooks. It arrived well-sharpened, needing only a few strokes on a leather strop to achieve a razor-sharp edge. Given its hardness, I expect it to hold an edge well—though, like any knife, it should always be kept very sharp. I own both the 8-inch and 9-inch versions but recommend the 9-inch. Its taller profile and front-heavy balance are key to the appeal of a cleaver. The handle is comfortable, offering a solid grip, and as with all cleavers, let the knife’s weight do the work (keep your wrist loose!). This brand is well-regarded, based on my research. Food prep, especially vegetables, is a delight—it’s like a Nakiri on steroids. Another bonus: its tall blade makes scooping and transferring ingredients effortless. If you love cooking, this knife is absolutely worth trying.

Come very sharp and well balance, 9 inches is a good size, handle is slightly small for man but well made.

El cuchillo viene con una caja muy elegante y bien protegido. El filo es espectacular. Creía que tendría que pasarlo por piedra pero no es necesario. Muy satisfecho.
