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.7 Chinese Cleaver has a slightly thicker and heavier blade than the SGMT-No.6 Chinese Cleaver, but it is still a highly versatile general-purpose kitchen knife that can be used to slice, chop, mince, scrape, and even crush ingredients. 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.
My parter bought me this knife for my birthday as a gift. It is beautiful and I love using it. It feels well made. I'm getting used to the carbon steel blade. It arrived very quickly. The packaging was nothing special.
I got a #7 and a CM3040 for the wife as Christmas gifts. She loves the size, balance and sharpness. They are her go to knives now.
Sugimoto #7 is an excellent cleaver designed for more chopping tasks rather than slicing as Sugimoto #6 is perfected in such. The blade is very nicely tapered towards the tip makes it ideal double duty for heavier task closer to the handle and finer work near the tip of the knife. Handle is very ergonomic shaped after your hand figure when you pinch grip it. This professional chinese cleaver is the compliment of Sugimoto #6. Highly recommend.
Edge retention - good but not as good as my Mizuno Cleaver. The belly is bit agressive. It is a good all around but a bit expensive for the performance. I have micro chip on edge just for general usage; cutting, slice and dice WIthout chopping on any hard stuff. All around food prep. Micro burr form on edge after a week of light use.
