Pro Tip:

Use the wide blade of the Chai Dao not only for cutting, but also for pressing and crushing garlic or ginger, as well as for effortlessly transferring chopped ingredients directly from the cutting board to the wok—the flat side of the blade serves as a practical scoop. Before each use, briefly run the knife over a sharpening steel (at least 26 cm, at a 15-20 degree angle) to maintain its exceptional sharpness[1][7].

The Güde Dao Walnut is the perfect choice for anyone who values versatile kitchen tools and wants first-class results when cutting, chopping, and mincing.
The characteristic wide and slightly curved blade allows you to effortlessly prepare meat, fish, crunchy vegetables, or fresh herbs with quick, flat chopping movements and a rocking cutting technique—ideal for preparing Asian dishes and sophisticated wok creations.
Thanks to the generous blade width, the chopped ingredients can be picked up particularly comfortably and placed directly into the pan, pot, or wok—a real added value in everyday use.
Speaking of creativity: the Chai Dao Walnut also proves its worth outside of classic Asian cuisine, for example when finely chopping herb mixtures for Mediterranean dishes, cutting fruit for salads, or even cutting different ingredients for colorful bowls.
The sturdy, elegant walnut handle fits comfortably and securely in the hand, allowing you to cut for longer without fatigue. With this all-rounder, you are investing in a precise, durable tool that not only makes your preparation steps more efficient, but also more creative, taking your everyday cooking to a new level.
