4.9 Stars  |  139 Reviews

The Mo Series 7" Cai Dao is a Chinese vegetable cleaver, not a bone chopper. The tall, lightweight blade is built for high-volume veg prep, mincing, slicing and scooping straight from board to wok. 67 layers of Damascus wrap a 10Cr15CoMoV core, finished in a black titanium water-wave stonewash and ground to 15 degrees per side. Burnt oak handle on a hidden rat-tail tang (a partial tang) with a bolster. Hand wash only.

DESCRIPTION

This is the "Cai Dao" (Chinese Chef Knife), refined for the modern kitchen. Unlike a meat cleaver, this blade is thin, sharp, and designed for precision vegetable work. It allows you to chop, slice, and mince with incredible speed, then use the wide blade to scoop up your prep and drop it straight into the pan.

The Ultimate Prep Station Tool

The tall, flat blade profile is perfect for guiding your knuckles safely while you chop. Constructed with a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core and 67 layers of Damascus cladding, this blade offers edge retention that standard cleavers can only dream of. Note: This is a precision slicing tool, not a bone crusher. Please keep it away from frozen foods and bones!

Signature Comfort and Control

Cleavers can be heavy, but the MO series is designed for balance. The handle is crafted from deep, burnt oak, hand-shaped to provide a secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during high-volume prep. An elegant red G10 accent ring completes the look.

  • Blade Steel: 10Cr15CoMoV Core wrapped in 67-layer Damascus Steel
  • Hardness: 60±2 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)
  • Blade Profile: 7-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver (Slicing)
  • Handle: Burnt Oak with Red G10 Accent, hidden rat-tail tang (a partial tang) with bolster
  • Use: High-volume vegetable prep, mincing, and scooping. (No bones!)
  • Series: MO (X06)
  • Model: X06-DC
