Fragrant Knives' essential Chef's knife, in the classic Chinese '菜刀' (vegetable knife) shape. This is the most common knife shape found in domestic kitchens in Hong Kong and southern China, and despite being called a 'vegetable knife' it is comfortable with almost all kitchen tasks except bone-cleaving: chopping, slicing, mincing, garlic-smashing, filleting and bench-scraping.

Designed in Hong Kong and made in Yangjiang, China, the capital of Chinese blade production since the Tang dynasty, the Chinese Chef's Knife combines classic Hong Kong design and expert Chinese craftsmanship, updated for the modern global kitchen.

The blade is made from a high-carbon stainless steel that holds a sharper edge for longer than the softer stainless steels typically used in Chinese knives. The handle, slightly shorter than typical to encourage a pinch grip on the blade, is a certified Chinese rosewood engraved with a bold wave pattern to aid grip, and influenced by a rich Chinese design history.

This is the knife we chose to represent Chinese-style knives to the world: a really great all-rounder that is intuitive to use and easy to care for.
