CCK Vegetable Cleaver / Slicer - KF1912 - NO.2 Review - Chan Chi Kee - Cai Dao

In this video, I will be reviewing the CCK Vegetable Cleaver Slicer KF1912. 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*: Length: 20.5cm Width: 9cm Thickness: 2.0mm at the heel, the middle and front 1.5mm Weight: 270grams Steel-Type: Stainless Handle: Hidden full tang wooden handle 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. N O T E S: I highly recommend buying from your local Asian supermarket as they tend to be a lot cheaper there than ordering online.
