Victorinox Walnut 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver

Victorinox Walnut 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver

This Victorinox Chinese vegetable cleaver pairs a wide, thin 8-inch blade with a walnut handle. It is a slicing tool for vegetables and boneless proteins, and it is not intended for chopping through bones or frozen foods.

The blade slices vegetables paper-thin, minces aromatics such as garlic and ginger and dices boneless meats. Its broad face crushes a clove of garlic and doubles as a bench scraper to scoop and transfer ingredients to the pan or bowl.

The walnut handle is contoured for a comfortable, balanced feel. Wash it by hand and dry it after use, and wipe it occasionally with a food-safe oil to keep the wood from drying out.

The same blade with a synthetic handle is the Fibrox 8-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver. For bone, choose the Hardwood 1.5 lb Meat Cleaver. The table in the Details compares the cleavers, and our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains the shape.

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

Hand wash only. Wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once; do not soak the wood handle or put it in a dishwasher.
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.
