The Small Gesshin Chinese Cleaver is a stainless clad white #2 cleaver. It is designed to be easy to sharpen, but require less care than traditional carbon steel knives due to the stainless cladding. Chinese cleavers are all-purpose knives, and this knife works well for vegetable, meat, and fruit cutting tasks. It is relatively thin, but not crazy thin. For more information on how to use and care for carbon steel knives, please check out our knife sharpening playlist, available by clicking on our media section.

*Chinese cleavers are not designed to be used on bone or for boning tasks...they are much more like chef's knives than meat cleavers.
