Hatsukokoro Sentan Chinese Cleaver 200mm

The Sentan Chinese cleaver is the traditional cleaver used by almost all chefs in Chinese kitchens. Actually is usually the only knife they use for bigger or smaller more delicate tasks. It’s a thin and light cleaver, designed mainly for vegetable cutting.

The Sentan range is made in China under the specifications required by Hatsukokoro and is forged by White-2 (Shirogami-2) carbon steel but with a stainless clad for easier maintenance and features the traditional handle of Chinese cleavers. HRC is at 62.

The 200mm takes some time to get used to but then it’s very easy to handle.
