The tall blade of the Chinese Cleaver allows it to be safely guided with the knuckles of your free hand when ‘tap chopping’, ‘push cutting’, or ‘pull cutting’. Therefore, large fruit and vegetables, such as cabbages, can be cut easily and safely. The heel corner of the Cleaver can be used to remove blemishes from fruit and vegetables. If you love cooking Chinese food, you owe it to yourself to try a Chinese Cleaver!
This stunning Chinese Cleaver is handmade by CCK (Chan Chi Kee) in Hong Kong by expert craftsmen with only the highest knife-grade steel. This Chinese cleaver has an extremely thin and sharp blade profile, perfect for slicing vegetables and meat without bones.
This is called a “Small Slicer” by CCK, however, it’s everything but small!

Just wanted to say that the knife is great – really light and sharp and feels very natural in the hand. As far as I am aware, this is the only place that you can buy CCK knives in the UK (at least online) and I am so glad I found this website. Also, I couldn’t rate the customer service more highly. Received the knife really quickly and David has given me so much information on sharpening and answered my numerous questions! Highly recommended if you are looking for a Chinese cleaver.

I was looking around for a CCK Chinese Cleaver and came across David’s shop. He got it to me the next day, and it is just a beautiful blade… super thrilled with the cleaver and the service!
I didn’t realise that I was one of his first customers, but I am glad I was. I ordered what I was looking for and was prepared to wait the normal 3 to 4 days for delivery, but it came next day. Great communication too!

I had been looking around for a Chinese slicer on and off since 2018. I had heard from colleagues and close friends what an amazing knife they were. Whilst searching on the net in the wee small hours of the morning, I stumbled upon “Chinese Cleavers”. These were the only suppliers of CCK knives that I could find in the UK. I was so excited to discover them that I purchased two, the stainless steel, and the carbon steel with a mulberry handle. Originally I had fully intended to give one of the knives as a gift, but sadly the recipient didn’t receive said gift. Well, were do I start, the day the slicers arrived; I was so excited I quickly pulled some vegetables from the refrigerator and started to chop, after 30 minutes I found I had enough for a whole weeks meals. The hype, no, the legends were true, the ease the knife sliced through the vegetables with hardly any resistance whatsoever was amazing. The knives are extremely sharp and the slight curve to the blades allowed for different cutting styles, push cut, slicing almost tissue thin slices, peeling, chopping and usefully the blade can also be used to convey food from the chopping board straight to the pan. As to the other knife, I have found I like to swap between the two of them. The knives are beautifully balanced and the maintenance of the knives is very simple. There are thousands of videos on the internet showing how to use them and the different techniques. These knives are probably my favourite pieces of my batterie de cuisine. Whether you’re just an amateur, or a professional these knives are a must. And as for the gift, chocolates and a card.
