CCK 210mm Chinese Cleaver Carbon Steel Wood Handle #3 Light Vegetables

Chan Chi Kee or CCK is one of the highest regarded culinary knife makers in Hong Kong. The quality of their steel and heat treatments is always excellent as is their grindwork. 

Chinese cleavers are catagorized by their weight, heavier cleavers #1  (choppers) will be made with butchery in mind, #2 medium weight for light butchery and vegetable work and light weight thin #3 cleavers with only vegetables in mind. Carbon steel is the traditional material, although stainless steel has become popular for its easy maintenance. Chinese cleaver steel is tempered for ease of sharpening and toughness, it can be touched up on a sharpening steel or medium to medium fine whetstone (1-3K), super fine finishes might not be the best for a long lived edge. 

CCK makes a large variety of culinary knives, we selected the most essential sizes for most professional and home cook uses.
