With its characteristic wide blade and 16 cm length, the Chai Dao is ideal for quickly and efficiently cutting, chopping, or mincing vegetables, herbs, meat, and fish. It is traditionally used in Asian cuisine to cut large quantities of vegetables into wafer-thin slices or chop herbs evenly with quick, flat movements. Thanks to the high blade back, the cut ingredients can be picked up directly with the knife and easily added to the wok or pot – saving time and ensuring clean workflows.

Used creatively, the Chai Dao opens up further possibilities: use the wide blade to press garlic cloves, lightly crush peppercorns, or even precisely portion pieces of meat for teriyaki, goulash, or tartare. Thanks to its fine grind and sturdy construction, it's not just classic Asian dishes that turn out perfectly – chopping salads, fine carpaccio, or cutting tapas ingredients also becomes a real experience. Experiment with combined cutting techniques, such as the European-style rocking cut for fresh herbs, or use the knife for quick, pressing cuts when preparing fruit, vegetables, or even tender ham.

The handcrafted pear wood handle not only gives the knife an exclusive appearance, but also ensures a secure grip and comfortable hold, even with wet hands. This allows you to master challenging cuts with ease and enjoy genuine craftsmanship in every movement.

Whether used classically in Asian wok dishes or experimentally in modern fusion cuisine, the Chai Dao Pear makes every cutting task a special pleasure—for anyone who appreciates the highest quality, ergonomic comfort, and authentic Solingen craftsmanship.
