Our authenticity promise

CCK has made cleavers by hand in Hong Kong for over a century. With a reputation like that, it’s no surprise the name gets copied.

So to be clear: every knife on this site is a genuine CCK (Chan Chi Kee), original and made in Hong Kong. There’s only one CCK, on Shanghai Street in the old Kowloon district.

What you won’t find here:

• Look-alikes made elsewhere and passed off as CCK.
• “Old stock from before the logo changed.”
• Knives said to come “from the same factory as CCK.” There isn’t one.

We buy every knife in person from CCK in Hong Kong and carry them back to the UK ourselves.

Use a CCK once and other Chinese cleavers feel blunt by comparison. It’s far sharper, the blade noticeably thinner, and the taper smooth and even from spine to edge.
