The blade shape of the KHO KHAN is similar to that of the Chuka Bocho, a traditional Japanese chef's knife. This shape is specifically designed to provide a high level of precision when cutting.

Asian chef's knives are often confused with cleavers because of their brutal blade shape, but here is the crucial difference: They are significantly lighter and thinner, which makes them unsuitable for heavy tasks such as cutting bones. At its core, our KHO KHAN is a versatile all-purpose knife that is particularly suitable for cutting vegetables. The high blade makes the kitchen cleaver ideal for large vegetables such as onions or cabbage, which are difficult to handle with conventional knives. Although Chuka-Bocho style chef's knives can also be used for cutting meat (without bones) and fish fillets, their use for animal foods is limited by the lack of a tip. Rather, the oversized nakiris are suitable for cutting large, dense vegetables. Carbon steel ensures that your kitchen cleaver is extremely sharp Our KHO KHAN is made in small, family-run workshops in Vietnam, where the centuries-old art of blacksmithing is upheld. The carbon steel from which the knife is made can be sharpened to a particularly sharp finish and each step of the process transforms it into a unique piece with a rustic look that bears the signature of its master blacksmith. The fine grain and high degree of hardness of the carbon steel enable exceptional sharpness, which you can even easily resharpen yourself.

Although the KHO KHAN is not rustproof, it is a reliable companion with the right care: Clean it after use with water and mild detergent, dry it thoroughly and avoid the dishwasher. Protect the blade by regularly oiling it with our special knife oil. If you want to learn more about Asian knives, then our article “Knives made of carbon or steel” is for you.
