That's a pretty cool collection.

How do you most often use the CCK Kau Kong Chopper and the Mcusta Zanmai Chuka Bocho?

What do you most often use the 210mm deba for?

Thanks!

I use the CCK Kau Kong Chopper most for chopping chickens Chinese style (which involves chopping the bones). The Zanmai is mainly used by my girlfriend, who was initially more used to Chinese cleaver shapes (though she has lately transitioned to a Takamura R2 gyuto!), though I do like to use it from time to time due to its height and thinness.

The Deba is, to be honest, seldom used as I don’t break down fish that much, but it is nice to have and I want to get better with it. The large size is probably not the most practical for what I usually do, but I could not resist the appeal of a huge Deba.

And unfortunately no Canadian knives I haven’t really found a maker that appeals to me, though maybe in the future!
