Get to know the Chinese cleaver. It's not what you'd imagine.
The main question I've been left with is why I ever let this style of knife, called aOne thing to make clear about this type of Chinese cleaver is that it's not really a cleaver. In fact, calling it a"cleaver" is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, it's shaped like a cleaver, but in use, it has nothing in common with those thick, bone-crushing butchers' knives.
You’re less likely to use certain cutting techniques that are common to Western-style knives, such as rock-chopping, where you seesaw the blade back and forth along its curvature while keeping constant contact with the cutting board; the Chinese cleaver doesn’t have enough of a curved blade for such back-and-forth rocking.
This doesn't fully replace the need for a bench scraper, since I wouldn't advise using the knife to scrape up stuck-on food bits from a dirty work surface, but it still offers much greater efficiency: Not having to put down a knife and pick up a bench scraper every time you need to transfer something ends up saving a lot of time in the long run.
