SHI BA ZI ZUO 7 Inches Stainless Steel Meat and Vegetable Cleaver Knife with Ergonomic and Sturdy Wooden Handle

This thing is a beast. Holds an edge, has great weight, feels great in the hand, but also cuts through veggies very nicely. I got this specifically because of how convenient it is for scooping up chopped ingredients, but it has also just become a favorite knife all around.

I've had this knife for three years now and I use it for my food preparation. It's great for me because it can cut my vegetables very cleanly. No issues with the knife. It stays sharp needing resharpening about once every two months. I have an older cleaver that's a little smaller and I find that I'm just using this 8-inch cleaver exclusively since getting it. It's also not bad at cutting meat off chicken drumsticks. Very good dependable knife. Seems to be well made!

I absolutely love this knife. I mostly cook Asian food, and saw a lot of professional Asian chefs using this type of knife. I wasn't sure if I would like it, so I bought a cheap generic Chinese vegetable cleaver from the supermarket for about $10... used it for 2 years and fell in love. It's the optimal knife for Asian food and basically any cuisine. It makes prep go by quickly and is even enjoyable. The biggest function though is its use as a bench scraper. Made my kitchen skills so much more efficient. I mostly chop vegetables and meat (no bones) and the Chinese style cleaver makes short work of it. While that cheap knife served me well and is still great today, I found that it didnt retain a sharp edge very well. Also the handle was cheap. So I did some research and came across this brand - still affordable but used in both Chinese professional and home kitchens everywhere. So I bought it and it came in a nice box. Extremely sharp. I've been using it for about a month now and it's still super sharp. I've only had to hone it once so far. We'll see how long it can go without needing to be sharpened by my whetstone. Well worth the money. I love it. The handle feels good quality and sturdy.

Arrived extremely sharp! I've only honed it with a ceramic rod for almost a year. I'll need to perform its first sharpening soon, though. I've been hoping to make a transition from western-style soft-steel chef knives to a cleaver such as this for some time. Most cleavers, however, are way to blunt and dull, and are meant more for chopping and obtuse work... at least western-style cleavers. Ergo, my search started for an Asian-style cleaver (thinner blade, harder steel). When my search brought up this one, the price was right, and I thought that I could try it out and if I liked using an Asian cleaver for the majority of my prep work and fine cutting tasks, I could always upgrade. Happy to say that I feel no need to upgrade. This is a very fine piece, and will suit me well for many, many years. I've transitioned over to using a cleaver blade for the majority of my prep work now, and I don't regret it at all. I don't rock-cut anymore, as this blade has trained me to chop cut, and I get better and better at it the more I use it. I'm loving the ability to continue to cut and cut without the food sliding up and falling over the top of the blade to the other side. The only thing I'd caution on this blade, as well as other Asian-style knives, is that they are typically higher content in carbon steel. Hand wash them, and immediately dry. Don't soak in water. Don't use a dish washing machine. I haven't had to oil the blade, but doing so every now and again can be helpful. I would suggest oiling the wooden handle from time to time with the appropriate wood treatment. Very fine instrument. Highly recommend.

I got this knife because I wanted a blade that could be used to cut anything I wanted, and this one does the job. Here are my thoughts after using it for a few months. Pros: - Very sharp out of box. - Easy to sharpen. Just a few passes on my Spyderco Ceramic Medium stone works well. - It has a large flat, used for picking up chopped/diced vegies and meat. - caftmanship is better than anything I've ever used before in the kitchen - Beautiful design, I like the rectangle shape and the wood handle. Cons: - If you hold the knife blade with your thumb and index finger, the vertical choil digs into the middle finger, and it makes the knife a bit painful to use. I might use a dremel later to round the edge a bit. I did get used to it though, after a few weeks of use. Not a big deal. - it's not full tang, it's just a wire that goes through and is bent at the end. I knew this before I bought it. Maintenance: - I make sure I wash it thoroughly and dry it completely, then I put it back in the box it came in. Ready for use for the next day. I do the same thing with my cast iron skillet and carbon steel wok. Maintenance is important for everything you want to keep in good shape. Conclusion: Get this knife if you want a very sharp all-in-one blade. You probably won't be disappointed.

This is my first Chinese vegetable cleaver, got the idea to buy it from the Cooking with Lau Chanel on YouTube, thank you daddy Lau ! This knife is awesome, took it out of the box the very first time and it just felt like part of my hand, it's the only knife I've used since, no need for anything else. Some people commented that it's heavy, frankly it isn't, this is a chef's knife after all, but it is still lighter, nimbler then my 300$ Whustof. As for cutting , this knife is a bona fide razor, you could ninja chop grape tomatoes mid air with it, no joke, but please don't do it, it's very sharp, you don't want to wave it around. And the surface area is a game changer, you can scoop up everything you chopped in one go with this, absolutely brilliant. Full tang is also very reassuring and the handle gives you a firm grip. Care for this knife like you would any other high quality knife, I use a sharpening rod with a plastic handle, a 10000 grit whetstone, and I might oil the handle from time to time. This knife slices meat beautifully too, but if you have bone to cut, This company sells a nice heavy chopper as well. Bottom line, for the price, you can't do any better, yes buy it !

Fantastic Cleaver. The weight feels just right—not too heavy, not too light—and it glides through chicken (no bones!) and vegetables like butter. The handle has a solid grip and feels secure even with wet hands. I dry off the blade immediately after washing. After a few weeks of use, the edge is still holding strong with minimal maintenance.

Ci si deve abituare all'utilizzo perchè è totalmente diverso da un coltello standard. Una volta presa la mano è un piacere da utilizzare! Il coletello arriva già affilato come un rasoio
