Sugimoto is one of the most famous brand names for Japanese knives. Sugimoto’s Chinese Cleavers are especially well known and are popular amongst professional Chinese Food Chefs.
From an experienced craftsman’s viewpoint, Sugimoto’s traditional handcrafting methods and their custom convex edge geometry are the secrets to their outstanding cutting performance.
Since we first started to offer the Sugimoto Chinese Cleavers, over 10 years ago, our professional customers have praised them for their fine cutting performance and quality.
The blade is made with a very pure Japanese virgin carbon steel, which provides excellent edge retention, edge sharpness and ease of re-sharpening.
The Natural Wood Handle has a comfortable rounded shape, two carved grooves that improve grip, a durable Stainless Steel bolster and balances the weight of the blade very well.
The Sugimoto SGMT-No.22 Chinese Cleaver has very thick, heavy blade, which is designed for hard use (e.g.: cutting shrimp, crab or fish bones). Compared to the standard SGMT-No. 6, the SGMT-No.22 is a 'heavy weight' that excels at its intended purpose, but is somewhat less versatile overall. The tall blade of the Chinese Cleaver enables it to be safely guided with the knuckles of your free hand when 'tap chopping’, ‘push cutting’, or ‘pull cutting’. This makes it possible to cut large fruit and vegetables, such as cabbages, easily and safely.
Good weight. cuts through chicken bones and hard vegetables like nothing.
Good for restaurant use. Easy to shaping. Smooth and comfortable handle!
This cleaver is well built (solid) and has done well whacking through chickens and other fowl. The weighting of the blade makes short work of birds! I sis have to seal the region where the cleaver meets the wooden handle so as to keep water out. Nice cleaver. Next up is the Sugimoto #7.
