ASIAN STYLE BANNER.png__PID:5d8b723b-f73d-4b3c-bc03-003ddcf883f6

Asian-style knives - such as Cleavers, Santokus and Nakiris - are revered for their precision, sharpness, and specialized design tailored to various culinary needs.

Unlike Western knives that often feature thicker, heavier blades with a curved edge for rocking cuts, Asian knives are typically thinner, sharper, and designed for clean, precise slices. Many are single-beveled, allowing for extreme sharpness but requiring specialized handling.

Below, we explore some of the most popular Asian-style cutlery that Cangshan has to offer!

FEATURED SELECTIONS

CLEAVERS & NAKIRIS

The Powerhouses

Cleavers are traditional and powerful tools, yet not all are created equal.

Asian-style cleavers fall into two primary categories - meat or vegetable cleaver:
Vegetable Cleaver (菜刀)
Often mistaken for a butcher’s cleaver, this knife features a thinner, razor-sharp blade designed for chopping vegetables with precision. It excels at slicing, dicing, and even scooping ingredients due to its broad surface.

Nakiri
A straight-edged, double-beveled knife designed specifically for vegetables. The flat blade ensures full contact with the cutting board, allowing for clean, effortless cuts without the need for a rocking motion.

Meat Cleaver
A heavy-duty cleaver with a thick, durable blade built to chop through bones, cartilage, and dense meats.
