XL Kau Kong Chopper, carbon steel, very rustic finish, iron handle - CCK Cleaver

CCK or Chan Chi Kee cleavers are a Hong Kong-based producer of cleavers and other kitchen equipment. They pretty much universally considered to be best in class.

SHAPE: Chinese cleaver. The quintessential Chinese cooking tool comes in many different forms. The silhouette is almost always the same but the girth and length are the key players here. Generally speaking the thicker they are the more abuse they can take; and the longer they are, the easier slicing tasks become.  

This cleaver is one of the more multi purpose cleavers. It retains a certain amount of thickness to the spine allowing poultry based bone bashing.

STEEL: Carbon steel

FINISH: Very rustic.

HANDLE: Iron handle

LENGTH: 20cm long and 13cm tall

MAKER: CCK - Hong Kong

BEST FOR: Chop, chop, chopping and then some slicing.
