HK Heavy Duty Chopper - Carbon steel

If you have ever been to a Chinese BBQ restaurant and watched the chef chop up duck or roast pork, this is the chopper you would see him use.

This is a heavy-duty chopper and like all of the best choppers it is made in Hong Kong.
It has a counterweighted tip to add extra punch.

Carbon steel offers strength with ease of sharpening. Keep it dry after use to prevent tarnishing.

Use
Use this chopper to portion whole ducks, chickens and other poultry.
The blade is strong enough to wedge through bones.
The flat side is often used to squash cloves of garlic.

This is a perfect partner for your Japanese knife collection because it gives you the power to cut through poultry bones + ribs without risking damage to your fine blades. Every household needs a cleaver.

Please note: Carbon steel rusts if left wet. Thoroughly dry with a clean cloth when not in use. Ideally use camellia oil for maintenance.

Knife care for 100% carbon steel knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• This knife is 100% carbon steel, due to the nature of carbon steel this knife will tarnish and form a patina. This is to be expected and is nothing to worry about. The patina also helps protect against rust.
• Do not leave wet on the bench or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
• We highly recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner for maintenance.
