Some Chinese chefs swear a cleaver is the only knife you need in your kitchen. With the versatility and long-lasting strength of this Chinese cleaver, it's hard to argue against! This traditional Chinese meat cleaver knife is the ace to have up your sleeve when tackling many of your favourite Far Eastern dishes. That’s because, unlike Western cleavers, it’s not for cutting through bone – but it’s a kitchen superhero when it comes to just about everything else. Every part of the blade can be used for something, whether it’s slicing water chestnuts for a chow mein, tenderising steak for black pepper chicken, or smashing garlic to make a stir fry sauce.
