b>This is a heavy-duty chopper.
The CCK Kau Kong Chopper is a classic Chinese-style bone cleaver built for power, durability, and confidence-inspiring weight. Made by Chan Chi Kee (CCK) in Hong Kong, this knife represents the traditional end of the cleaver spectrum—designed for demanding tasks where mass and toughness matter as much as edge sharpness.
With substantial thickness at the spine and a tall, broad blade, the Kau Kong Chopper is well suited for breaking down poultry, chopping through chicken bones, and handling tougher ingredients that lighter vegetable cleavers should never touch. The added heft allows the knife to do the work for you, delivering clean, decisive cuts with controlled downward force. Despite its size, the blade remains well balanced and predictable in hand, making it a dependable all-purpose chopper for cooks who want one knife that can handle the hard jobs.
This is a traditional workhorse cleaver favored in Chinese kitchens where versatility and durability are essential. If you are looking for a true chopper rather than a delicate slicer, the Kau Kong is an excellent choice.
Care Instructions: Hand-wash only with mild soap and dry thoroughly after use. Do not place in the dishwasher or soak for extended periods. Use an appropriate cutting board designed for heavy chopping. Periodically inspect the edge and have it sharpened as needed to maintain performance. Store safely to protect both the edge and surrounding items.

I have cut tens of thousands of pounds of whole chickens over the years. Literally. But today was the first time I enjoyed it.
The knife is stout, and slayed the backbone out of the bird with ease.
I’ve named it Cocky. I am in Gamecock country after all. Another great purchase.

Making ginger chicken platters for banquets. The softer carbon steel and forward weight are good for chopping chicken. The edge may get a little banged up but being carbon you can put a sharp edge on it. I would sharpen after cutting platters so it would be ready next time around.

can a chopper be any cute? well I assume yes if you ask me here is why: very sturdy, thick carbon blade at the same time very cleverly grinded so you wont feel the heaviness, compact so much that its very maneuverable in your hand, its a hybrid between a bone Cleaver and a slicer so perfectly satisfying any cook both professional and home chefs for all kind of general cutting tasks. For your record and deciding purposes I have Sugimoto cleavers
