    Does Chan Chi Kee/CCK still exist?

    I'm a pretty bad cantonese speaker but will try to help. Its been around 3 years since I been to CCK but this is how I bought a knife (KF1103) there . Cai Dao translates to vegetable knife. Its a generic term that all used to describe Chinese vegetable cleavers, sort of like "kitchen knife"...

    Hong Kong Shigefusa???

    Didn't see many Japanese brands when I was there outside the normal globals and shuns, found lots of german knives tho. I did find lots of cleavers from CCK (of course) to unknown local brands made with "german steel".

    Why do you need Japanese steel when you have German machinery? :justkidding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q7QkM7ueXo

    Nakiri and Cleaver Question

    Different for me, I find nakiri's too light. I can't use the weight of the blade like a cleaver.

    If you could have just one knife (sort of)---chinese cleaver--want recommendation

    Just like you I grew up using cleavers, and have owned a few in my life. Below is what my thoughts are: The barrel (CCK) - very comfortable and natural Sugimoto (mines a #7) - my fav handle type, it just works Rounded rectangle (Tojiro pro F631) - pretty comfortable and controllable for...

    Other cleavers to buy in Hong Kong?

    There is a place that I went to in Hong Kong island that had Chinese cleavers made of "German steel". The price was around $50 usd . I didn't buy one as I only had a one knife quota for the trip. Might be worth a trip on the ding ding. SCW cutlery 369 Hennessy Rd, Wan Chai, Hong Kong...

    Been back for a while, just finishing up with some pics of inside CCK. Wall to wall cleavers In saying so CCK was just one of the kitchen supply stores on that street. So in addition to selling knives they also sold other kitchen wares like woks, pots, bakery tools etc. CCK...

    does your Chinese Restaurant CHARGE you for white rice?

    They charge here, its often better just to order a plate of fried rice instead.

    So I ended up getting one, even on a gas range its too thin and loses heat too quickly, might be a better on a induction cook top. But for now the cast iron wok is still king.

    Canadian Vendors

    Knifewear is more of a boutique knife shop, I don't think they are the operation/ nor have the equipment to do any major work. I did ask about re-handles a while back and they did say that they do them, tho not sure what kind of handles they offered. What kind of work are you looking to get...
