The Chinese cleaver is the ultimate multi-tasker. Don't let the name fool you; this isn't a meat cleaver for hacking through bones. This knife is designed for push-cutting, slicing, and scooping vegetables, herbs, and boneless meats with speed and efficiency. The broad blade makes quick work of large quantities, making it an indispensable tool for busy kitchens.

The All-Purpose Prep Master

This 7-inch cleaver excels at:

Vegetable Prep: Dicing onions, mincing garlic, and slicing carrots with ease.
Herb Chopping: Quickly mincing herbs for sauces and garnishes.
Boneless Meats: Slicing chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, and other boneless cuts.
Scooping: Transferring chopped ingredients from the cutting board to the pan.

Damascus Steel Performance

The blade is crafted from beautiful 67-layer Damascus steel with a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV core, vacuum heat-treated for exceptional sharpness and edge retention. The Damascus cladding not only looks stunning but also adds durability and corrosion resistance.

The Vegetable Cleaver That Earns Its Board Space

The Yu Series Chinese cleaver is built for the work most knives avoid: endless dicing, slicing and mincing of vegetables. The tall, flat blade clears the board in one pass and scoops the lot into the pan. This is a caidao for veg and all-purpose prep, not a bone chopper. Treat it as your everyday workhorse and it rewards you every service.

WHY A CHINESE CLEAVER

One Knife For The Whole Board

The broad face does the slicing and the scooping. Crush garlic with the flat, sweep a pile of diced onion off the board with the same blade, then rock through herbs. The 7" edge keeps the knife nimble in one hand while the height gives you knuckle clearance over the board. For cooks who prep a lot of vegetables, it replaces three knives.

THE STEEL

67-Layer Damascus, 10Cr15CoMoV Core

The cutting core is 10Cr15CoMoV, hardened to 60±2 HRC through vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle for a stable, fine edge. It is clad in 67 layers of Damascus that surface as a raindrop pattern down the blade. Ground to 15° per side, it bites cleanly through onion skin, tomato and tight-packed cabbage without crushing.

IN THE HAND

Full Tang, Rosewood Grip

The full tang runs the length of a rosewood handle, so the weight sits forward of your hand and lets the blade do the work. The grip stays controlled through long prep sessions. Hand wash and dry it — this knife is not dishwasher safe — and it holds up for years. Backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

FAQs

Can this cleaver chop through bone?

No. The Yu Series is a Chinese vegetable cleaver (caidao) for slicing, dicing and mincing. Chopping bone can chip the 15° edge and is outside its intended use.

Is it real Damascus?

Yes. The blade is 67 layers of Damascus steel forge-welded around a 10Cr15CoMoV core, finished in a raindrop pattern.

How hard is the blade?

60±2 HRC, set by vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle for a stable, fine edge.

What is the edge angle?

15° per side (the manufacturer states 15°±1), which is keen enough for clean vegetable cuts.

What is the handle made of?

Rosewood, over a full tang that runs the length of the handle for forward balance.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No. Hand wash and dry it straight after use to protect the edge and the rosewood.

Is it covered by warranty?

Yes. It carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
