Wan Fu Tei Fuji Chinese Cleaver 175mm (6.9")
The picture that comes to mind when hearing the word cleaver is usually one of a skilled butcher swinging it to cut through bones and using it to take whole carcasses apart. While the Wan Fu Tei Fuji Chinese Cleaver 175mm (6.9") might resemble those badass knives visually, it does, however, serve a different, more refined purpose. The blade itself is not as thick and made of a harder—and thus slightly more fragile—steel, making it more prone to chipping if used to hack through bones.
Instead, this cleaver is closer to a universal chef's knife, and it is in fact used as one in traditional Chinese cuisine. Its long blade makes it perfect for chopping larger pieces of vegetables, but it will perform well with slicing raw fish and meats as well. The slightly curved cutting edge also allows for rocking motions, while also being thin enough for more precise cutting techniques, such as mincing, dicing or the julienne.
Another great feature is its extremely wide profile, which can be utilized to transport any food that's chopped up and ready to depart to its final destination – a piping hot pan. Who needs a bench scraper when you have this beauty sitting in your knife block (or hanging on our knife magnet)? 🚨 Just make sure to use the spine and not the cutting edge, as scraping the chopping board can dull it or even cause it to chip.
SMITHY:
Wan Fu Tei Chinese Cleaver is produced by Fuji Cutlery, a sister company of TOJIRO, in Japan. They combine traditional Japanese knife aesthetics with modern manufacturing precision—delivering performance, reliability, and sharpness at an accessible price point.
