For many classically trained Chinese chefs, these hefty blades are their chef's knife, performing nearly every kitchen task imaginable. Those who have trained seriously can wield these with precision and grace rarely seen in western kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThey come in a variety of blade thicknesses, ranging from razor-thin for slicing garlic, to wedge-thick for splitting bones. Many chefs will sharpen different parts of their chuka-bocho for different purposes, allowing them to do everything with one large blade.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Blacksmith: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShosui Takeda’s knives kick-ass, simple as that. A third-generation master blacksmith, Takeda-san was born and raised in Niimi, Okayama, Japan. After he graduated from university in Tokyo, he returned to his hometown to succeed his father as a master blacksmith for Takeda Hamono. Since 1985, he has strived to produce the very best hand-forged blades and tools. Each blade is a unique work of art and has a certain presence. Forging knives, axes, hatchets, sickles, and scythes, it seems nothing is out of the question for Takeda-san.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FXdxlc0rz1U\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', Roboto, 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\" data-dashlane-frameid=\"22564\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shosui Takeda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39690385981614,"sku":"TANAS240CC","price":602.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/chinese-cleaver-1.jpg?v=1585787473","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-gb\/products\/takeda-nas-chinese-cleaver-large-240mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
