This is a vegetable slicer.
This CCK Small cleaver was used and recommended in Christopher Kimball's Milk Street Magazine and sales have gone way up as a result. A small Chinese chef’s knife is called a Sangdao and is a great cleaver at an even greater price. It is made from carbon steel with a tough kurouchi finish. It requires extra care to keep from rusting, so it is vital to keep it clean and dry between uses.
The CCK Small Cleaver is our best selling cleaver at CKTG. It is a wonderful introduction to the world of Chinese chef knives. The blade is quite thin for a knife of this type and has a very sharp edge. There is a very slight belly to the edge profile which reduces the chance of the end sticking into the cutting board.
Sangdao are the perfect knives to quickly and precisely chop, julienne, and slice meats and vegetables, but it will not cut any bones...so please don’t try!
This is a great choice for those wanting their first cleaver or for chefs who are looking for a workhorse for vegetable prep.Weight: 8.8 ounces
Blade Length: 209.5 mm (8.25")
Overall Length: 315 mm (12.5")
Thickness at Heel: 2.9 mm
Blade Height: 88.5 mm (3.48")
Engraving: Laser Engraved as of 1/2021. See Photos

This is a fantastic knife! And an extremely good value. I am the Chef of an Asian restaurant and my whole staff uses cleavers every single day… I will encouraging everyone to get one of these! Light, nimble but very capable, great balance and THINNNN. Was quite sharp ootb but a quick touch up on my Shapton glass 2k and this thing is deadly! I have a vast collection of knives but this will be my new go-to for sure. If you are curious about Chinese cleavers or you are looking for a prep beast, get this knife!!! Looking into picking up the large one next…

One SHARP Knife, August 9, 2021Posted By: Cockerill

Rarely do I leave reviews. I'm not a chef but love to cook. Especially if I have good tools. This is one SHARP knife. Straight out of the box, no sharpening was necessary. It does have a very, very thin blade. It slices through vegetables, BS chicken like nobody's business. Sliced a cantaloupe this morning. No effort was needed. Would definitely buy again.

I love this knife. I've been fascinated by the idea of using a Chinese chef's knife for a while, and I'm glad I made this purchase. Pretty sharp right out of the box. Light, easy to handle. It's the knife I reach for for just about any basic prep work now.

I would pay $120 for this and still feel like I got a deal. Its the first knife i have been able to push cut paper other than my Aogami super. Awesome on the line, awesome during prep. Overall badass blade.
pros: light, dont have to worry about it as much as I do expensive knives, easy and fun to sharpen.
cons: can easily torque weird and possibly bend or chip, water gets trapped under metal ferul thingy.

Holy cow! This thing is wicked sharp right out of the box. Maintains the edge well. Surprisingly nimble for a cutting instrument this size. Does it all well, from slicing garlic paper-thin to cutting through carrots and boneless meats with ease. Thought it was pricey but the results convinced me otherwise.
