I’ve been using my CCK KF 1912 for a few years now, and really enjoy it; but for better edge retention I am considering the KF 1303 (but carbon steel can be such a PITA).
Cooper, I hope you review the Victorinox 7" Chinese Classic Chefs Knife Stainless Steel Cleaver. It looks very interesting as a thin vegetable slicer. I do enjoy your thoughtful reviews and am interested in what you might say about this cleaver.
It's thin, it's thin behind the edge. Slices well. Nice flat edge like the CCK. I hate the fibrox handle, but overall it's a solid cai dao for the price. I like it more than the often recommended Shibazi F208.
I have the victorinox classic Chinese cleaver, it is harder plastic than the fibrox version and I was able to get it in a very nice red color. It was like $70 instead of $50 for the fibrox version but I think it's worth it. Has a very lively "ting" sound when you tap it and holds an edge better than other victorinox I've used.
I dont much mind the "faux-kurouichi" finish on the cck130x knives, but the inking on the 2021 models especially with the qr code... yeah, pretty tacky looking.
hi there, big fan, love this channel, im currently in taiwan, wondering if you can point me to a direction on where i can pick up a cck knife in taiwan? thanks
honestly the cleavers I enjoy most are the cheap ones I have bought on the street in Taiwan. You don't get the best metal but they are super quick and easy to sharpen/ touch up.

If price was no object, what do you personally think of the best all round Chinese cleaver someone can buy?

Can I buy this cleaver from you?
Sadly they don't sell at Amazon. Ugh.
The new laser etching and QR code on the blade is SO LAME. Took away the rustic old school charm 😢
agreed!
