#PRICE CHOPPER MASTER CHEF HOW TO#

I'm Chinese and I taught myself how to cook on a CCK, and they're fun to use, but I only paid ~$35 back then. CCK has gotten massively inflated in price, but Chopper King is from Taiwan and has pretty good stuff, and in better steels as well. Some people enjoy using cheap knives like Shi Ba Zi, but I'd rather jump to the next price point. That being said, a scraper is 10 bucks and if you decide to get more into knives, it's annoying to unlearn the habit of scraping your board with knives.

Though those also tend to have the less common rounded belly, which might be appealing to some, and unappealing to others. If you go into higher end chuka-bocho cleavers that use higher end steels and super steels, which are hardened to 60+ HRC, and tend to have much narrower blade profiles, you'll run into issues with scraping. This is a cheap stainless steel, so it's definitely soft enough to use and abuse. They're meant as all around beaters, which includes the usual usage as a pan scraper. They don't hold a super sharp edge long, but they also don't chip as a result and are easy to resharpen, especially given the shape. Most chinese cleavers aren't hardened to as high of a HRC as Japanese knives and chuka-bocho variants. Scraping your blade on your cutting board is TERRIBLE for your knives and should be avoided.Įh.
