This
cleaver arrived from the manufacturer with minor scratches on the blade. They are visible in picture 1 if you enlarge them.
Chopper Knife King in Taiwan is making some exciting knives and once again CKTG is the first dealer in the USA to bring them to you. This slicing knife is made with White #2 carbon steel imported from Japan. Compared to some similar cleavers we've sold in the past like Shi Ba Zi they're in a different league. The knives come with surprisingly decent out-of-the-box edge and pretty darn good fit and finish. We think they're excellent values for the price.
*Our cleaver saya does not fit this cleaver due to the height of the blade.
