ChineseCleavers.co.uk
The only high-end traditional Chinese Cleavers in the UK & Europe

My journey with Chinese cleavers began where engineering meets cooking. As an engineer, I’ve always known that proper tools are half of any job well done. This philosophy took on new meaning as I watched my childhood best friend master professional knife techniques through culinary school.
Then came lockdown. Like many, I found myself exploring vegetarianism – and it was here I discovered the traditional Chinese cleaver. I was amazed by how this single tool could effortlessly process mountains of vegetables, then seamlessly scoop and transfer them to the pan.
My search for the perfect cleaver led me to a surprising discovery: while Japanese knife brands boast centuries of heritage, there’s only one legendary Chinese manufacturer – Chan Chi Kee. What followed was an adventure in persistence: navigating complex sourcing issues, wrestling with shipping restrictions, and managing high costs. This challenge sparked a solution: ChineseCleavers.co.uk, now the premier destination for authentic Chan Chi Kee knives in the UK.
