Review: If yan can cook so can you - So i have alwats loved watching martin yan of tge show Yan can cook and always wanted knife skills like his. That man can chopp at a hundred miles an hour and nit even look at what he's cutting. Well i found out the clever he uses is a chinese chef's knife and this one had great reviews and was dirt cheap so i pupled the trigger. Glad i did to! Yeah it came a tad dull but a few minutes on a soft arkansas stone with some soapy water fixed that. The spine was too square as was the part directly below the handle, but some sandpaper fixed that! I'm chopping carrots super fast, getting dozens of wafer this slices without any special effort and you can kind of see through them. With little effort I'm mincing onions so small that they mostly melt into whatever I'm cooking. They're smaller than the minced onions McDonald's uses. Plus I'm chopping them fast! Just using this thing has made my knife skills improve all the way around. This is not a butcher's cleaver! It is not meant to go through bones! The chinese name for tgis knife is "cai dao" which means vegetable cutter, or vegetable knife. This knife is the exact same function as a traditional chef's knife or santoku knife. It does however do more than those. This is the all purpose knife of a chinese restaurant and professional chinese chefs. From cutting, to garnishing, to tenderizing this knife does SOOOO MUCH! It does take a keen edge. If you don't know how to sharpen a knife with a stones then you need to learn. A butcher steel isn't for sharpening or honing, it's for edge aligning. Gonna buy a second one and give this one away as this was a knife i got just to try. I abused it as i was learning it so it's scratched up pretty good. This really is a premium piece of kit. I also have a mercer chinese chef knife with a santoprene handle. The blade stock is thinner so it's a touch flexible and this one is not. This is a good, stout knife, manufactured for years of use. Do not put it in the dishwasher! Good knives should never go in a dishwasher. Nor should they ever be submerged in water. Once done they shoukd be hand washed and cleaned. They'll last decades that way. The mercer has a more premium steel but a cheaper feeling handle. I love both but this one is a bit heavier and i enjoy it. I put them in the same category of quality and love them both equally but for different reasons. Review: Affordable home cleaver - Great for my home needs, namely infrequent cutting large thick-skinned squash (pumpkins) and melons. Seems to keep a good edge though have sharpening tools if it ever needs to be resharpened. ## Features - Stainless steel blade - Provides durability and resistance to wear - Wooden handle - Offers a secure and comfortable grip - Well-balanced construction - Enhances control and reduces user fatigue - Classic design - Combines traditional craftsmanship with practical use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003HESNR8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #66,882 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #3 in Chinese Chef's Knives & Cleavers | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 6.75 inches | | Blade Material | High Carbon Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 6.75 inches | | Brand | Winco | | Brand Name | Winco | | Color | Stainless Steel (material), not a color | | Construction Type | Stamped | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,286 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00812944006297 | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | (1) Meat Cleaver | | Item Length | 12.25 inches | | Item Type Name | KC-101 | | Item Weight | 1.6 ounces | | Manufacturer | Winco USA | | Manufacturer Part Number | KC-101 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | KC-101 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 6.8" | | UPC | 812944006297 | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Plain - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Winco - **Color:** Stainless Steel (material), not a color - **Handle Material:** Wood ## Images ![Winco Blade Chinese Cleaver w/ wooden handle – blade 8”x3 ½” overall length 12 ½” - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511LTCtzFzL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is this knife's angle of sharpness?** A: It's only an estimate, but I think about 17 °. I harpen mine with a diamond file. It holds an edge and does well with slicing things like tomatoes. I recommend this knife. **Q: Trying to sharpen this cleaver. Recommend 15 or 20 degree angle?** A: Hello, You may select a shallower angle such as 25º or 20º, but doing so is not advisable if you plan on doing a lot of chopping. A 30º angle will ensure that your blade will stay sharp for a longer period of time, especially when chopping. **Q: How long is the blade on this knife? Thanks in advance!** A: On my knife, the blade is exactly 8.0 inches long (or 20.3 cm). The widest part of the blade is just over 3 and a quarter inches (at 3 and 5/16 inches or 8.4 cm). The thickness of the metal at the back (or spine) is 3/32 of an inch (or 2 mm). **Q: What is the blade material? 3cr13? 4cr13? 5cr15mov? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_blade_materials#stainless_steel** A: The Seller describes the blade as "KC-101 High Carbon Steel...and "KC-101" is not any kind of Stainless Steel, therefore you can expect that it will rust, as some customers have stated in their reviews. Perhaps the Seller can elucidate... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If yan can cook so can you *by C***S on January 21, 2023* So i have alwats loved watching martin yan of tge show Yan can cook and always wanted knife skills like his.

Seems to keep a good edge though have sharpening tools if it ever needs to be resharpened. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a little heavier/thicker than I thought, but seems like good quality *by S***P on December 12, 2023* For the money, it's an excellent heavy cleaver. I was intrigued by the idea of using a cleaver for chopping vegetables. Unfortunately, this cleaver is heavier and thicker than I thought it would be. That's the problem with buying online, you can't really know how something feels from pictures. I've only used it once, but it was enough to convince me I won't be using it for veggies or pretty much any prep work. Chef knives or Santoku knives are far better for that. It's sharp, but it's almost impossible to do fine work with it because it's too unwieldy. Did I mention how heavy it is? It's a meat cleaver. Seriously, unless you're hacking chicken carcasses apart, buy something else. ## Frequently Bought Together - Winco Blade Chinese Cleaver w/ wooden handle – blade 8”x3 ½” overall length 12 ½” - Winco 8" Heavy Duty Chinese Cleaver with Wooden Handle, 3-1/2″ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/2700803-winco-blade-chinese-cleaver-w-wooden-handle-blade-8-x3](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/2700803-winco-blade-chinese-cleaver-w-wooden-handle-blade-8-x3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
