The CCK KF1302 Cai Dao, often referred to as the “small slicer,” is a precision-focused Chinese vegetable cleaver built for clean, efficient cutting. Slightly longer and taller than its sibling, the KF1303, this model maintains the same impressively thin blade geometry, making it especially well suited for fine, controlled prep and paper-thin slicing.
Designed specifically for vegetable work, the KF1302 excels at julienning, fine slicing, and chiffonade cuts. The thin, high-carbon steel blade glides effortlessly through produce with minimal resistance, delivering excellent feedback and edge precision. This knife is not intended for cutting bones, frozen foods, or hard ingredients—the edge is optimized for finesse rather than brute force.
This is an outstanding choice for cooks who value speed, accuracy, and traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Its balance, cutting performance, and razor-sharp edge make it a favorite among professional chefs and serious home cooks alike.
Care Instructions: This knife is made from high-carbon steel and will rust if neglected. Hand-wash only and dry immediately after use. Do not soak or place in a dishwasher. Avoid leaving acidic foods on the blade for extended periods. Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for long periods. Use a soft cutting board and avoid twisting or torquing the edge during use.
We do not have a saya that will fit this cleaver.

The cck kf1302 is my right arm. It slices, dices and minces like a dream. You take care of it. It takes care of you. And you don't have to worry over it like the shun. It ain't pretty, but what it does for food prep is beautiful.

I wanted to commend your customer service, as they were extremely helpful with problems I had with my order. Although the knife I bought was a wedding gift -- and therefore I haven't had a chance to use it -- I'm sure it's of excellent quality -- it was chosen but the chef groom. Thank you for taking care of your clients (and of course, for the quality and variety of your products). I will certainly recommend to friends.
