Chinese cleaver
Rectangular kitchen blade
A Chinese cleaver is a large, rectangular-bladed knife used in Chinese cooking.
Despite resembling a butcher's cleaver, it's lighter and designed for slicing, dicing, and mincing vegetables and boneless meat rather than chopping through bone.
The broad blade doubles as a scoop for transferring ingredients to the wok: She used the flat of her Chinese cleaver to crush the garlic.
