Chuka (Cleaver)

Chinese Cleaver General Purpose
The Chuka Bocho, or Chinese cleaver, is a large, versatile knife central to Chinese cooking, featuring a broad, rectangular blade. Beyond its primary functions of slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables and meat, its wide blade also excels at scooping up prepared ingredients for easy transfer from cutting board to pan. Despite its formidable size, it is not intended for cutting through bone, but rather for precision tasks and handling both fine and heavy-duty chopping. Blade lengths typically range from 180mm to 220mm, offering a generous cutting surface. This knife's unique blend of functionality, including its ability to scoop up ingredients, makes it an indispensable tool in kitchens, especially where quick and precise preparation of large ingredient volumes is essential.
