Dengjia Vegetable Cleaver JCD 904 Review - 9Cr15Mov - 185mm

Dengjia, or also known as Deng, is a manufacturer since 1898. They are still using traditional forging methods but have figured out how to reduce labor costs using 3 different materials to make their Chinese cleavers. JCD-904 is Dengjia's Chinese Vegetable Cleaver that is durable but still maintains longer edge retention while having a sharp performance. They achieved this by using a 9Cr15Mov core material that they heat treated to 58/59. 🛒S H O P: Dengjia JCD-904 (185mm): https://bit.ly/3p0r0PR Note: This is the same version as in the video from the official Dengjia store.
