The Chinese cleaver's wide rectangular blade lets you scoop ingredients off the board straight into the wok without touching anything else. It looks heavy-handed until you pick it up. Then you realise how much work one blade can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Rectangular Blade Advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 12Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus.

The broad flat of the blade also works as a bench scraper or a meat tenderiser in a pinch, and the spine is wide enough to use for crushing garlic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEbony Handle, Full-Tang Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony is a dense, oily hardwood that doesn't absorb moisture or stain over time. The handle is set deep into the steel, with the full tang running tip to butt so the weight sits behind your grip where it counts. It's balanced closer to the heel than most Western cleavers, which makes it more nimble than it looks on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67-layer Damascus with 12Cr18MoV core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-inch Chinese cleaver, rectangular blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony wood, full-tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Breaking down brassicas, slicing tofu, scooping chopped ingredients, and crushing garlic with the spine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ji Series (X08)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X08-DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Ji Series 8\" Chef Knife for rock-chop tasks and proteins where a curved belly is faster, and the Ji Series 4\" Paring Knife for anything too small to bring to a full board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212310933555,"sku":"X08-DC","price":172.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/7-chinese-cleaver-ji-series-x08-5821191.jpg?v=1776590960","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/7-inch-chinese-cleaver-ji-series-x08-dc","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
