Description

The Shi Ba Zi Zuo bone chopper cleaver is built in the tradition of Chinese butchery — a thick, heavy carbon steel blade designed specifically for splitting bones, chopping through joints, and breaking down whole poultry and ribs.
The full-tang rosewood handle is secured with brass rivets and shaped for a powerful overhead grip, while the blade’s 7mm spine thickness delivers the mass needed for bone work without requiring excessive force.
A best Chinese bone chopper cleaver for serious cooks who prepare whole proteins and demand an authentic, heavy-duty tool that handles the hardest cuts in the kitchen.

**The Bone Breaker**
Raise the cleaver and bring it down through a pork rib — the 750-gram blade splits bone with a satisfying crack that resonates through the cutting board, clean and decisive with no splintering.
In a Chinese kitchen, this cleaver is not just a tool but a statement of intent — it announces that whole ducks will be jointed, spare ribs will be portioned, and nothing will be sent to the table that this blade cannot handle.
**Chongqing Heritage, Carbon Steel Soul**
Shi Ba Zi Zuo has been forging cleavers in Chongqing, China since 1983, continuing a regional bladesmithing tradition that stretches back centuries along the Yangtze River.
The carbon steel blade is forged at high temperature then quenched to achieve a hard, keen edge that Chinese chefs prefer for its superior sharpness — the trade-off of requiring regular oiling and maintenance is considered a mark of respect for a serious kitchen tool.

Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
