Inspired by the traditional design of the Chinese Cleaver, which is called the Chai Dao, Wusthof's distinctively shaped 7" Classic Chai Dao feathers a wide blade with a razor-sharp fine edge that curves dramatically upwards as it nears the knife's squared off tip. The blade's curved profile allows chefs and home cooks to quickly mince, chop, dice, and slice a myriad of ingredients with an effortless rocking motion. The wide blade makes it easier to scrape and carry prepped items from the block to pans and bowls. It also makes it an ideal tool for smashing and crushing aromatics, like garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. This knife is primarily used for vegetables and fruits this agile blade ahs the power and heft to easily transition from slicing paper thin shallots to cubing tough cuts of beef!
