Review: Best knife I've ever owned. - I've long wanted a Chinese cleaver, ever since watching Martin Yan on the famous "Yan Can Cook!" TV show that appeared all across American public television when I was a kid. His knife skills are insane! And he almost always used a cleaver. In the back of my mind, I always knew that there would be a day when I would own a cleaver too. I'm a knife nerd, and own almost fifty different kitchen knives off all types and kinds, made in various countries: Spain, Portugal, USA, Germany, Japan, France, Switzerland and even one made in Brazil. But one knife making country was missing from my collection: CHINA. So when I decided it was time to buy a genuine Chinese cleaver, I wanted one made in China. Since there are tons of Chinese made knifes on desertcart, that seemed like the place to start my search. But I did NOT want a Chinese knife from an American based importer, so Mercer, Dalstrong, Zelite, Kessaku and Nexus were disqualified immediately, along with all similar types of brands. Not that any of the for-mentioned brands make bad knives, it's just that I wanted a Chinese cleaver, made by a Chinese company, that were proudly selling Chinese made knives. So pulling up all the listings for "chinese cleaver" on desertcart.com, I finally found a company that met my criteria: SHI BA ZI ZOU, a Chinese company happily selling their Chinese made knifes to American customers via desertcart.com I have a knife block with a 3.5" (89mm) slot for a cleaver, so that was my limiting factor in choosing a blade--no wider than that. Looking at the various offerings from SHI BA ZI ZOU, I found two cleavers right away that really appealed to me: the 9" F208-1, and the 8" F208-2, but only the 8" would fit in my knife block, so that's what I ended up buying. I've never anxiously awaited the arrival of a knife so much as this one, and it didn't disappoint. It's a very traditional cleaver, with a "beehive" wooden handle, full tang, and a very plain, BIG, rectangular blade of made of heavy gauge Chinese stainless steel. It's a cinch to use with the traditional pinch grip, and is quite the workhorse. The knife came in a very nice brown cardboard box, very suitable for gift giving, and actually much nicer than any box that my $$$ Japanese or German knives have come in. All the lettering and packaging is in Chinese characters. Right out of the box, the blade was SUPER SHARP. The craftsmanship was also extremely nice for the pricepoint. SHI BA ZI ZOU uses a san mai type blade construction, with hard 80Cr13 high-carbon steel on in the middle, sandwiched by softer 10Cr17 steel. You can actually see a Yaxell Mon-like "wavy line" where the two steels come together near the blade edge. The SHI BA ZI ZOU Chinese characters are deeply etched into the blade, and there is also a very nicely done bit of laser marking with the company's web site emblazoned right on the blade. The handle is rosewood, and the strange beehive shape is extremely comfortable to hold, and surprisingly non-slip. As soon as I started using this beast, I was in love! The knife is HEAVY, weighing in at heft 335g, which is a lot more than my favorite Japanese knife, a Shun Classic 7" Santoku that is a mere 205g. But I really like the extra heft, and it makes prep work almost too easy. The spine is just 2mm thick, but the blade is super stiff and hard, no flex at all. It can handle, with ease, any fruit or vegetable you can throw at it, as well as any protein. But it's not a meat cleaver, and it is NOT to be used to hack through thick bones, though it can go through chicken bones with great ease. But the most amazing thing about using a Chinese cleaver rather than a typical chef's knife or guyoto, is that they are surprisingly safe. The giant blade is hard to miss, and there's plenty of room to press your knuckles against the blade in the typical claw grip fashion. Lots of blade to pinch as well, and it's shocking what kind of control you can get with this thing. If you're skilled enough, no need for a mandolin anymore. The blade has an 12Β°-15Β° degree double bevel, with a very nice taper--looks like something Global would make! It just cuts with the greatest of ease and is an absolute joy to use. Though this knife will prep food for any cuisine, I find myself making more Asian dishes to find excuses to use the knife more often. This knife is a true workhorse, it's not the type of knife you are going to post photos of on Instagram, you just take it out of the box, and start putting it to work immediately. So far I've been maintaining it with just a F. Dick sharpening steel and a leather strop; haven't needed to put it on a stone yet. Might be a while... Since getting this knife, all my other knifes just sit in their block, ignored and unused. Other than my favorite pairing knife, my boning knife, my slicer and bread knife, I could probably give all my other far more expensive knives away and never miss them. Yep, this chopper is that good. I'm seriously considering buying a second one. FINAL WORD: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Buy one, you won't regret it. Absolute BEST BUY in the entire knife universe. Review: Love this knife! - My SHI BA ZI ZUO professional cleaver has seen a lot of use in my home. The heft & weight of the knife makes cutting easy & efficient. The balance of the blade is ergonomically designed, and the edge retains sharpness after repeated usage. The length & width protects from injury & acts as a scoop to transfer food. The SHI BA ZI ZUO is my favorite knife I own and highly recommend it! ## Features - √ 80Cr13 Stainless steel- 3 layer high quality clad stainless steel of 80Cr13 high carbon core steel performs excellent hardness, durability and sharpness maintaining. Outside layers of low carbon steel does well in toughness, corrosion resistance and plasticity. The combination of two steels makes the Cleaver Knife perfectly work. - √ Ergonomic Handle - Ergonomically designed carving classic rosewood handle is anti-slip and anti-freezing and firm to grip avoiding harms to your hand while using the meat cleaver. - √ Blade Craftsmanship - Vacuum heat treatment endows the steel with best mechanical property. Non-stick coating avoids food sticking on the blade. Wire-drawing integrated full tang blade is more stable and safer. - √ Full Purpose Cleaver - Ultra sharp blade edge design and well balance of this knife make it perfectly for cutting, slicing, dicing and mincing meat, vegetable. Wide blade is able to smash garlic. It is suitable for homes and restaurants. - √ Package - Gift box package makes the product looking more attractive and the box is strong enough to ensure that the cleaver knife is well protective. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QF7ZXQ8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,723 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #1 in Vegetable Cleavers | | Blade Color | silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 20.7 centimeters | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 20.7 centimeters | | Brand | SHI BA ZI ZUO | | Brand Name | SHI BA ZI ZUO | | Color | Brown-Silver | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,551 Reviews | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | kitchen knife | | Item Length | 12.2 inches | | Item Type Name | Knife | | Item Weight | 329 g | | Manufacturer | SHI BA ZI ZUO | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | SBZ002 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 8.1" | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Plain - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** SHI BA ZI ZUO - **Color:** Silver - **Handle Material:** Wood ## Images ![SHI BA ZI ZUO 8-inch Professional Cleaver - Stainless Steel Meat & Vegetable Knife with Non-stick Finish and Anti-slip Wooden Handle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pmc1duJeL.jpg) ![SHI BA ZI ZUO 8-inch Professional Cleaver - Stainless Steel Meat & Vegetable Knife with Non-stick Finish and Anti-slip Wooden Handle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712KP-pJZ1L.jpg) ![SHI BA ZI ZUO 8-inch Professional Cleaver - Stainless Steel Meat & Vegetable Knife with Non-stick Finish and Anti-slip Wooden Handle - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713XZwrTN0L.jpg) ![SHI BA ZI ZUO 8-inch Professional Cleaver - Stainless Steel Meat & Vegetable Knife with Non-stick Finish and Anti-slip Wooden Handle - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kl4Mai5VL.jpg) ![SHI BA ZI ZUO 8-inch Professional Cleaver - Stainless Steel Meat & Vegetable Knife with Non-stick Finish and Anti-slip Wooden Handle - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816qy2y0n2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the knife supposed to be rust proof? I have found that I have to dry it off by hand after washing - otherwise rust immediately develops.** A: No, it is not completely β€œrust proof.” Although stainless properties are present remember the word β€œStainless” (Inox) only means it will β€œstain Less.” Depends upon the chromium level in the metal mixture also. This knife has a lot of Carbon in it compared to others I have. mine definitely has a high carbon hardened core and is sandwiched between a layer or 2 lesser carbon steel. But yes this blade that takes an incredible wicked cutting edge needs to be rinsed off good and dried thoroughly before putting away....use a very light coat of cooking oil on blade before storing. New oil or used cooking oil. whatever ya got. wipe it off real good and put away. **Q: Is this a good cleaver knife for cutting thin slices of raw meat?** A: It’s excellent. Just remember you should put the meat in your freezer for at least 30min. before cutting. Makes it a whole lot easier, plus makes for thinner slices **Q: Can somebody tell me what is the difference between this knife and F208-1?** A: Ahh..You ask the right question. I had bought both of them. The size is the only difference): F208-2 is a bit smaller than F208-1. Both of them are good kitchen tools. **Q: can this knife be used for acidic foods: tomatoes, oranges?** A: We use this knife frequently for slicing tomatoes. Wash the knife promptly after using on acidic foods to prevent corrosion ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best knife I've ever owned. *by K***R on July 3, 2020* I've long wanted a Chinese cleaver, ever since watching Martin Yan on the famous "Yan Can Cook!"
