The Alpha China cleaver is almost identical in construction to the Alpha cleaver. The chic chef's knife is hand-forged from one piece of chrome-molybdenum-vandium steel to the highest quality. The handle scales are made of polished Hostaform plastic, which comes in black. The knife is ice-hardened and stainless to meet the demands of the catering trade. According to Chinese tradition, the chopping knife can be used as a universal knife for meat, fish and vegetables. For finer cutting, the blade thickness is kept at 2 mm.
