How to Choose a Chinese Style Cleaver

This square-shaped knife is often used in Chinese cooking. It is double-edged, wide and thin. It can be used to cut, slice, chop, and mash as well as carry meat, fish, and vegetables. The blade's edge is arched to allow for fast movement.

There are two types of blades: thin and thick. The thin type is commonly used. It is used for chopping vegetables and cutting meat while the thick type uses its weight to cut small bones in fish and cartilage in meat. *For cutting hard bones, please use a specialized chopper.

For home use, we recommend a thin type with a weight of 300-400g.

Chinese Knife

Chinese Style Cleaver is a multi-purposed knife, using for cutting vegetables, boneless meat, fish, etc. in Chinese cuisine. It is quite heavy so we can use its spine for breaking a bone.

White Steel #2

Carbon Steel

White steel #2 is the standard steel for Japanese kitchen knives and is most commonly used by professionals. It's a high purity steel,characterized by its sharpness and cutting performance.
In comparison to White Steel #1, White Steel #2 is softer so it is slightly more durable and less likely to chip.
This is the first series of knives that professional chefs and those who want to use a slightly better knife for home use often have.



*NOTE: Carbon Steel is susceptible to rust if it is not properly cared for. Please clean and dry the blade regularly during use and after use.

Forge Welded

Forging Process

A forge welded blade is essentially a blade made of more than one billet of steel. There are many variations of technique and steel combinations. At its most simple, a forge welded blade is two billets of steel heated and hammer together to form one unified piece. The steel will then be shaped by hammer into the desired blade shape. Hardened and tempered, then ground, sharpened and polished. A forge welded blade has higher strength and edge retention than a stamped blade.

A knife store that has supported the history of knives and food culture in Japan.

It has been 600 years since the birth of swordmaking in the Sakai region of Japan. Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide's and it's craftsmen continue to build on that legacy by producing the finest blades in Japan.
This is where the culture of completing a dish of sashimi by "just cutting" and the culture of expressing sharpness as "taste" was born.
For 70 years, we have been connecting the spirit of Sakai's craftsmen with the passion of chefs in Osaka's kitchen equipment shopping district, known as the kitchen of Japan.
We are very happy that our knives can be used by people all over the world.
