Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver

Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver

The Victorinox 8-inch Chinese cleaver is designed for use as a vegetable knife as opposed to a meat cleaver. It is suitable for breaking down a chicken, but chopping through bones should be avoided.

The wide, thin blade slices vegetables paper-thin, minces garlic and ginger and dices boneless meat. Turn it on its side to crush aromatics, then use the broad face as a bench scraper to carry everything from the board to the wok.

Use a pinch grip on the blade, keep the fingers of the guiding hand curled and let the flat edge travel straight down or slightly forward. The height of the blade guides each cut against the knuckles.

The same blade with a walnut handle is the Walnut 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver. For bone, choose a meat cleaver such as the Fibrox Pro 7-inch Meat Cleaver. The table in the Details compares the cleavers, and our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains the vegetable cleaver.

Victorinox Cleavers

A meat cleaver is heavy and thick behind the edge for chopping through bone; a Chinese vegetable cleaver is thin and sharp for slicing and is not made for bone. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains both, and you can browse all Victorinox cleavers.

Cleaver	Blade	Use
Hardwood 1.5 lb Meat Cleaver	7 in., heavy	Poultry bones, ribs, cartilage, dense squash
Fibrox Pro 7-inch Meat Cleaver	7 in., lighter	Poultry joints, ribs, soft bones
Fibrox 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver	8 in., thin	Vegetables and boneless meat; no bones
Walnut 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver	8 in., thin	Vegetables and boneless meat; no bones

Keeping the Edge

Victorinox steel at this hardness takes a fine edge quickly and responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a honing steel during a work session keep the edge aligned; sharpen on a stone or a guided sharpener when honing no longer brings it back. Our Honing Rod Guide compares regular, fine and polishing cuts, and the Victorinox 12-inch fine cut honing steel suits these blades.

Care

Victorinox rates Fibrox Pro knives dishwasher safe. Washing by hand and drying at once keeps the edge from knocking against other items in the rack.
Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a sleeve such as the Victorinox Knife Safe for 8-inch to 10-inch Knives, not loose in a drawer.
