      5.0 out of 5 stars If yan can cook so can you
      Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2023
      Verified Purchase
      So i have alwats loved watching martin yan of tge show Yan can cook and always wanted knife skills like his. That man can chopp at a hundred miles an hour and nit even look at what he's cutting. Well i found out the clever he uses is a chinese chef's knife and this one had great reviews and was dirt cheap so i pupled the trigger. Glad i did to! Yeah it came a tad dull but a few minutes on a soft arkansas stone with some soapy water fixed that. The spine was too square as was the part directly below the handle, but some sandpaper fixed that!
      I'm chopping carrots super fast, getting dozens of wafer this slices without any special effort and you can kind of see through them. With little effort I'm mincing onions so small that they mostly melt into whatever I'm cooking. They're smaller than the minced onions McDonald's uses. Plus I'm chopping them fast! Just using this thing has made my knife skills improve all the way around.

      This is not a butcher's cleaver! It is not meant to go through bones! The chinese name for tgis knife is "cai dao" which means vegetable cutter, or vegetable knife. This knife is the exact same function as a traditional chef's knife or santoku knife. It does however do more than those. This is the all purpose knife of a chinese restaurant and professional chinese chefs. From cutting, to garnishing, to tenderizing this knife does SOOOO MUCH!

      It does take a keen edge. If you don't know how to sharpen a knife with a stones then you need to learn. A butcher steel isn't for sharpening or honing, it's for edge aligning.

      Gonna buy a second one and give this one away as this was a knife i got just to try. I abused it as i was learning it so it's scratched up pretty good.

      This really is a premium piece of kit. I also have a mercer chinese chef knife with a santoprene handle. The blade stock is thinner so it's a touch flexible and this one is not. This is a good, stout knife, manufactured for years of use.

      Do not put it in the dishwasher! Good knives should never go in a dishwasher. Nor should they ever be submerged in water. Once done they shoukd be hand washed and cleaned. They'll last decades that way. The mercer has a more premium steel but a cheaper feeling handle. I love both but this one is a bit heavier and i enjoy it. I put them in the same category of quality and love them both equally but for different reasons.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent knife at an excellent price.
      Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015
      Verified Purchase
      Bought on a lark while on sale, thought it was a cheap experiment. Found out that it was actually a quality kitchen tool.

      This knife has become indispensible for all my Asian cuisine cooking, it is just as versatile as everyone claims. Came in a plastic bag, inside a thin cardboard sleeve where it still rests. Had a great edge out of the... sleeve(?) and can take and hold a wicked sharpness throughout a cook. I hone it every time I use it, just a couple quick swipes brings it right back to an edge that rivals my chef's knives at 5x the price.

      The one thing I was not expecting, was the weight of this knife. It's 13 oz. or 369g by the kitchen scale, which is about twice as heavy as any of my other knives. Having that much weight though is actually a good thing, as it's the weight of the knife that does the cutting and it makes doing prep work with this knife almost effortless. Chinese chef's knives use a down-and-away motion, and this knife will go through almost everything in a single stroke, meaning less tearing of the meat (which means more tender, juicy meat). The weight also means you have tons of control, as you really have to mean to move the knife to do it. That makes doing fine work like mincing garlic really easy.

      It's listed as a "cleaver", but it's really not that at all (and shouldn't be used as one!). This is the quintessential tool of any Chinese kitchen, the one knife to rule them all. Always hand-washed and dried, no signs of rust at all.

      The actual measurements as product received by me: Overall length 12.25in, Blade: 8in x 3 3/8in width, Handle 4.25in, Total Weight 13oz. Not sure where the product listing got their measurements from.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not without it's faults
      Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2015
      Verified Purchase
      Pros:
      -Inexpensive
      -sturdy
      -holds a pretty good edge
      -will last virtually forever
      -good solid construction

      Cons:
      -bolster side of blade is ground to sharp 90 degree bevel and scrapes the hell out of your middle finger when gripping the knife. Will lead to blisters with extended use.
      -knife's edge had a small frown in the blade near the tip that required extensive sharpening to remove... Poor sharpening from factory... More attention to detail should have been taken to avoid major slips like this.
      -blade is rather thick and therefor will not sharpen as fast or cut as well as a knife with a thinner blade.
      -this style of bolster and handle can harbor bacteria if not cleaned thoroughly. Also, as knife ages and laquer wears off of the handle, you should apply mineral oil to the handle to keep the wood from warping and cracking.

      Conclusion:
      This knife is surely not without it's faults, but for $11 it's a hell of a value. My chief complain is the sharp 90 degree bevel on the bolster side of the blade... I understand that the spine of these style knives are left sharp to aid in descaling fish, however they should have taken the time to smooth the bolster side of the blade where the user's fingers are going to be rubbing throughout use. I guess if you wanted to take the time you could try to smooth this with some sand paper.
      The other thing to watch out for is to make sure the sharpened edge of the knife has a nice consistent belly or "crest" from heal to tip. If the blade has any section where it frowns, this is not going to allow the user to completely cut through food on the cutting board because this section of the blade will not contact the cutting surface. Then you will wind up with the perverbial pieces of celery that are all strung together by one thread of material! I know everyone has been there at one point or another! lol So just make sure your edge is straight and not frowned. Other than that, it's a good knife considering the price. I'd give it a try.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Buen afilado para el tipo de uso
      Reviewed in Mexico on September 20, 2022
      Verified Purchase
      Esta hacha de cocina llego en un impecable empacado y entregado dentro del tiempo acordado sin ningun contratiempo o problema.
      De primera instancia esperaba que la hoja fuara mas delgada, como para corte de verduras, pero la hoja de este cuchillo es ligeramente gruesa lo cual le da un peso mayor al acostumbrado en otras hachas para vegetales que he manejado, sin embargo, esta misma caracteristica lo hace ideal para usarlo para verduras, pollo y carne, ya que con lo grueso de la hoja puedes sin problema aplicar suficiente fuerza para cortar huesos pequeños sin ningun problema.
      Me encanta la forma de la hoja, el tamaño y como del filo al otro extremo de la costilla el grosor del hoja de acero inxoidable al alto carbono #260 el cual en teoria debe de mantener mas tiempo el afilado que un cochillo de acero inoxidable, hasta ahora con un par de semanas de uso se ve aun bien, ademas me gusta que la forma de la hoja va aumentando gradualemente en todo el ancho de la hoja. Su mango en comodo, y aun nos estamos conociendo. En general la considero una buena compra.
