Tamahagane San Black VG-5 18cm Chinese Chef's Knife
The Chinese chef's knife, also known as a Chinese cleaver, is ubiquitous in Asia and is a staple in every kitchen. It excels at chopping vegetables, fruits, and boneless meats. It boasts a sturdy yet relatively thin blade, so it should not be used to cleave bones or frozen items. This wide, sharp knife is a versatile tool for tasks like dicing vegetables, portioning poultry, mincing raw meat, or crushing garlic and ginger.
The handle is crafted from micarta, a highly regarded material in knife production. Micarta is a composite derived from linen, canvas, and carbon fiber. It is characterized by its high resistance to mechanical damage, high temperatures, and moisture.
