The large-scale use of steel knives began in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (220-589 AD). Afterwards, Iron cladding knives were the protagonists in the Chinese kitchen. All-steel kitchen knives became popular in Chinese cuisine until the steel-making technology got prevalent. A large body, thin front with thick back, and high-carbon steel are the features of modern Chinese kitchen knives.
A versatile knife – the front part can be used for cutting, slicing and the back for chopping. There is no polishing needed and very easy to maintain. Thus, it has won the heart of chefs.
A traditional Chinese kitchen knife, though being rough and without a superb look, is perfectly integrated with our Chinese cuisine after nearly a thousand years of evolution. Chefs used this blunt-looking kitchen knife to invent the “Twelve Basic Knife Skills” plus other complicated carving techniques. Chinese traditional chefs always say, “you can win bread everywhere with a kitchen knife”.

4. Its dark, black color and traditionally textured wooden handles highlight the historical depth of the knife.
