Had to show my coworker how to cut because she cut her finger in the past and said Yan taught me when I was a little kid. Didn't believe me and showed her this. Yan, saved my fingers.

It is a utilitarian knife. The width makes it viable as a scooper, spatula, board scraper, etc. The width also makes it easier to chop, that is why French chef knives are also wide. Plus as an added bonus they last longer because every time you sharpen the knife it gets a tiny bit smaller therefore huge knives will take longer to wear down.

@allgoo19 A few reasons: 1) Because the larger surface area allows you to press your claw hand against it without the risk of lifting the blade too high and slicing off your own knuckle. 2) Heft allows for faster, more even precision cuts 3) Larger surface area allows you to move your food from the cutting board to pot or pan 4) You can have straighter cuts because it's much easier to keep the knife "on axis" vertically vs something like a paring knife. I use the same knife.

I simply smiled grabbed a tomato and small diced it very quickly and uniformly with out even squeezing much juice out. They were impressed and respected the knife's ability. This is going to sound cliche but my clever is the second sharpest knife in the res

Thank you for the info. I bought a Japanese nakkiri instead of Chinese clever. It's kind of smaller version of Chinese clever, yet it can still fit in my knife block.. I'm convinced that thin blade makes all the difference for easier and accurate cutting. Only thing it's missing is the point (same as Chinese clever), so I use chef's knife for that purpose. I think everybody should have at least one thin blade knife.

@allgoo19 Sometime people call it the vegetable cleaver; because it's for cutting veggies, and most of the time, used as a spade to put veggies on plates, pans, etc. A french chef knife wouldn't have enough width for that. We also use the width to smash garlic, onions, etc.

Yeah thin knives are a lot more easy to maneuver. I have a thin Japanese santoku, and a thin boning knife which are both great. I have thought about getting a nakiri, but the cleaver is even more all purpose and sometimes the extra heft is important.

Well he uses his knuckles (outside part of fingers/hand) to rest the knife on. So when he's chopping, the wider the knife is the more surface area he has to slide it up and down his knuckles. Does that make sense lol?

@allgoo19 Yes, I keep it separately also because it won't fit in the block. BUT, since I use the knife for 99% of everything, it doesn't really matter. Knives in a block you don't use aren't very useful. The knife is wonderful. Visit my videos to see me using it. I encourage you to get it! Let me know if there is something I can do to help you get acclimated.
