Have had it for 5+ years and bought more for others. Amazing stainless steel that is extremely easy to sharpen yet high hardness holds the edge for a long time. The sharpening effort to edge durability is the best among my knives. It's easy to get it hair popping sharp, but best part is it also stays in the effective sharpness far longer than others that drastically taper off. Compared to my $400 (back then) Takeda Chinese cleaver, I use this way more often and like it better. It has proper weight and balance for a Chinese knife that helps in cutting, unlike the Takeda which is just a gyuto/western-knife balance in a rectangular shape. The handle is also properly shaped vs the cool-but-in-your-way Japanese octagon handle. The blue-paper (not stainless) and AEB-L knives I own do perform well, but they're a pain to sharpen vs this, and they don't really hold the 90%+ sharpness edge any longer. Get this Shibazi 9-inch or 8-inch professional version if you're looking for a Chinese chefs knife. This is better steel than all the usual models. Review: Excellent Knife at a Great Price - I became interested in learning how to cook authentic Chinese cuisine. I soon learned that my very expensive German made knives were not a part of Chinese culinary practices. In addition to adding about 20 new food items to my kitchen, I also added a traditional Chinese cleaver. This functions as a traditional chef's knife in a European kitchen, and not as you would use a cleaver in the Western tradition, which would be used primary for processing bone-in meat. The rule of thumb in the kitchen is to use as big of a knife as your skills allow. The larger the knife, the faster and easier it is to do the work. As I lacked an understanding of traditional Chinese cutlery, I contacted Shi Ba Zi to ask about their cleavers. I received an immediate response and an excellent recommendation for this 9" clever. This is a beautiful, well-balanced knife that is very sharp. Due to its size and weight, you can perform functions with the cleaver that you cannot with a chef's knife. For example, you can effortlessly slice a ripe tomato with this cleaver, which is something that you would not be able to do with a chef's knife. This cleaver is also very good for julienne cuts, as well as chopping. I was delighted to learn that you could do these things easily with a Chinese cleaver. The Shi Ba Zi cleaver is not just sharp, it is also very well balanced, with a full tang and good, solid handle. I would offer one word of caution. This is a very large knife. If you cannot adroitly handle a good 10" or 12" chef's knife, you may want to consider starting with a smaller cleaver. Shi Ba Zi makes a very nice 7.5" cleaver which I also purchased, thinking that I may need it for finer cuts or smaller things. I was wrong. The big cleaver will do it all. If you are not familiar with high end German cutlery, I can tell you that you can't buy a small paring knife for what this knife costs. It is a bargain and I would highly recommend this particular knife and this particular company. It is a great knife for the money. If you enjoy fine cutlery, you will definitely appreciate the quality and functionality of this knife. I am very pleased to have it, as anyone who enjoys cooking would, too. ## Features - √ Stainless steel - 3-layer high quality clad stainless steel. 80Cr13 high carbon core steel performs excellent hardness, durability and sharpness maintaining.

I use a KING kds 1000/6000, very good stone. 1000 resharpens, 6000 polish. If the blade is too dull, you can begin with a 400 grit, and then jump to 1000 **Q: So the knife has a non stick coating? Is this something that will wear off during use?** A: The blade adopts sanding craftmanship to create a physical coating to avoid food sticking on the blade. Since it is the physical layer instead of chemical coating, it is more safer and free of worry of chemical material weraing off during using. **Q: Will this knife be restocked?** A: I have the same question. Its been 3 months since this question was asked. **Q: What is the cutting angle of the blade edge?** A: Hey Paul, the factory angle is listed as 22-25 degrees. I can’t recommend this knife highly enough. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Chinese knife, great edge retention steel! *by Z***Z on February 2, 2026* Awesome Chinese chefs knife!

Better than Shun. Tips to remove sticker residue. *by F***R on October 5, 2019* First of all, I tend to give more criticism than compliments because I want the things I own to be perfect for the job, no necessarily need to be expensive. I own a Shun vegetable cleaver and found some drawbacks that really annoy me. First of all Shun is too brittle for everyday use due to the steel hardness it has. Also the polished surface makes vegetable like potatoes very hard to be separated from the knife. Thirdly, the aggressive curve on Shun is designed so that you need to rock it back and forth to cut vegetable but in Chinese style knife technique, vertical strokes is the dominant style since it has superior speed and control, but it requires the knife has a very flat edge so an array of vegetable can be cut evenly and cleanly. With all that experience I had from my $200 Shun, I decided that I should give this knife try. Guess what? The drawbacks that Shun has are completely absent on this Shi Ba Zi Zuo knife. Before I bought this knife I was concerned about the sharpness of this knife comparing to Shun given that most people tend to believe that Shun and other top brands have the sharpest knifes. It turned out that I’m totally wrong. This knife is very sharp right out of the box and it can slice printing paper that I hold in the air into thin and delicate stripes. I feel the sharpness of this knife is very comparable to my Shun out of the box. Another thing I want to share with you guys is that, HRC hardness can elevate the price of a knife quickly, but it is not what you really need. I was convinced that the harder steel will retain sharpness longer. But my Shun had a nick in the blade within a week of normal and careful use. The harder the steel the more brittle it is. You are buying a knife to cut vegetable not carving your name on the glass. The steel on this knife is perfect for daily use and the most importantly it’s much much easier to sharpen. I don’t need to worry about breaking the edge any more and I feel comfortable smashing garlic like a pro Chinese chef without worrying if I can accidentally break the edge. Several strokes on the whetstone it’s sharp like new again. The size of this knife is on the larger side comparing to western and Japanese made Chinese vegetable cleavers. But this is what professional chefs prefer and it starts to grow on me. It’s so easy to process a lot of vegetable in a efficient and precise manner and it can transfer a lot of processed vegetable to the plate in a single move. The balance is great. The handle is solid and feels nice. Can’t ask for more. The brand is also well known in China and it has a good reputation to produce quality knives. You won’t regret buying this knife. Oh, most of the review complains about the sticker. Use alcohol prep pads or paper towel with cleaning grade alcohol to wipe it off with some pressure. All the residue will be completely gone. The GooGone liquid does not work. You are welcome. ## Frequently Bought Together - SHI BA ZI ZUO 9-inch Kitchen Knife Professional Chef Knife Stainless Steel Vegetable Knife Safe Non-stick Coating Blade with Anti-slip Wooden Handle - SHI BA ZI ZUO Kitchen Knife 8 Inches Versatile Butcher Cleaver Chopper Knife Slicing Meat Chopping Bones for Home Kitchen and Restaurant - SHI BA ZI ZUO Heavy Duty Heft Cleaver Butcher Knife for Chopping Bones Sturdy Kitchen Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/59253281-shi-ba-zi-zuo-9-inch-kitchen-knife-professional-chef](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/59253281-shi-ba-zi-zuo-9-inch-kitchen-knife-professional-chef) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
