CCK Dual Purpose Chinese Cleaver Review Chopper KF1802 & KF1902 Chan Chi Kee

In this video, I will be reviewing the CCK Dual-purpose Cleaver / Chopper KF1802 & KF1902. Chan Chi Kee got its popularity in the west due to the TV series called: ''The Layover'' where Anthony Bourdain visited a shop in Hong Kong at Shanghai Street called Chan Chi Kee. There is a new CCK (Chan Chi Kee) Cleaver around, the only difference is that they opted for a lasered logo version with English letters instead of stamped Embossed logo. CCK has a lot of versions that look similar but are totally different in usage. Measurements KF1802 & KF1902*: Length: 21cm Width: 9.5 cm Thickness: 2.8mm Weight: 450 grams Steel-Type: Stainless Handle KF1802: Hollow Stainless welded handle Handle KF1902: Wired full tang wooden handle with brass bolster Logo: Old stamped logo (2021 version has been replaced with a lasered one). *These are handmade knives Rockwell and Measurements may differ slightly per knife. 🛒S H O P: I highly recommend buying from your local Asian supermarket (some of them already increased the price) as they tend to be a lot cheaper there than ordering online. Knives used in this video: Chan Chi Kee NO.2 (CCK) KF1902 (Wooden handle, Chopper) KF1912 (Wooden handle Vegetable Cleaver, Slicer) KF1802 (Stainless Steel, Chopper) KF1812 (Stainless Steel Vegetable Cleaver, Slicer) N O T E S: 1. Chinese ''Vegetable'' Cleaver or also called the ''slicer.'' - to slice vegetable and boneless meat 2. ''Dual purpose'' Cleaver, sometimes called ''all-purpose''Cleaver or Multi-purpose Cleaver. (Chopper) - the front part is for slicing the 1/3th heel area is designed to go through smaller bones not larger than a chicken or duck bones/carcass. 3. ''Bone'' Cleaver - to cut harder/bigger bones like a pork rib. Not ideal for cutting vegetables as it will split rather than cut.
