Its straight blade and square body are distinctive features, making it particularly adept at slicing fruits and vegetables. It handles dicing, slicing, and julienning with clean precision, while the wide blade conveniently scoops ingredients. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781888.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15653963.gif It is also suitable for processing meat.

Unlike traditional knives where gaps exist at the joint, water and residue do not get trapped within the handle. A quick rinse and wipe is all that's needed for cleaning, enhancing the knife's durability and improving hygiene. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15654366.gif https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955272.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15936478.gif While professional knives offer excellent sharpness and edge retention, they can be prone to rust, chipping, breakage, or warping, posing significant challenges for daily maintenance and subsequent repair. To combat Taiwan's humid climate, Ye Tian utilizes high-hardness stainless steel combined with composite steel technology to create a blade that is both sharp and exceptionally durable. This allows everyday users to confidently experience professional-grade cutting performance while minimizing the hassle of complex knife maintenance. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955280.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15936501.jpg San-Mai steel is a composite steel technology originating from Japan. It features outer layers of highly tough steel protecting a core of high-hardness steel, achieving a balance of outer toughness and inner hardness. This protects the inner core, which is sharp and hard but more brittle, allowing the knife to possess both sharpness and durability. It is the key technology that brings professional knives into the home. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15955285.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15962482.gif Each Ye Tian knife is meticulously sharpened by hand by skilled artisans. Their accumulated experience is a technique that automated machinery cannot replicate. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781649.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781906.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781890.jpg ● Bolster Series Chinese Cleaver - Model 4 Dimensions: ● Total Length: 28cm ● Blade Length: 17cm (measured at the longest point) ● Blade Width: 7.9cm (measured at the widest point) ● Thickness: 1.2mm (measured at the spine) ● Weight: 235.3g https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781908.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781891.jpg ● Bolster Series Chinese Cleaver - 6-inch Dimensions: ● Total Length: 29.5cm ● Blade Length: 18.2cm (measured at the longest point) ● Blade Width: 9cm (measured at the widest point) ● Thickness: 1.2mm (measured at the spine) ● Weight: 283.4g https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16781904.jpg ● Classic Bakelite Chinese Cleaver - 7-inch Dimensions: ● Total Length: 33.5cm ● Blade Length: 21cm (measured at the longest point) ● Blade Width: 10.5cm (measured at the widest point) ● Thickness: 1.2mm (measured at the spine) ● Weight: 368.6g ● Steel Type: San-Mai - Composite Steel ● Steel Material: 9Cr steel core; 430 stainless steel outer layers ● Handle Material: Bakelite *Ye Tian kitchen knives are hand-ground, so slight variations in weight, dimensions, and wood color may occur.

Clean with water or mild detergent only. Dishwashers and dish dryers are not recommended. 2. After washing, air dry the knife in a well-ventilated, cool place. 3. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool, as they can damage the blade's appearance and shorten its lifespan. [Care During Food Preparation] 1. Always clean the knife thoroughly after cutting acidic or sticky foods. 2. Thaw frozen foods completely before cutting with the knife to prevent damage. 3. Use the knife on a cutting board. Cutting on hard surfaces like concrete, tiles, or ceramic plates will accelerate blade wear. 4. This cleaver is suitable for slicing and cutting but not for chopping hard ingredients, to avoid blade rolling or chipping. For bone-in ingredients, a chopping knife is recommended. [Handle Care] 1. Under normal use, the handle requires no special maintenance. 2. Important Notes: * It is not recommended for non-professionals to sharpen knives themselves using whetstones or similar tools. * It is not recommended to clean knives in a dishwasher or dish dryer. [Ye Tian History] In early 1924, the founder, Ye A-Tian, established "Ye Tian Blacksmith Shop," producing "agricultural tools" using traditional hand-forging methods. The sickles, hoes, and pruning shears produced at that time were widely known and represent the very beginning of Ye Tian's knife craftsmanship. In 1980, the fourth generation took over and began producing household kitchen knives, extensively applying Japanese San-Mai steel technology to kitchen knives. The company transitioned into an OEM factory for major brands, producing knives for various cutlery brands across Taiwan. In 1990, the company was renamed "Ye Tian Cutlery Co., Ltd." To this day, the century-old "Ye Tian" brand focuses on creating knives suitable for Taiwanese households, integrating modern design with a century of craftsmanship. It strives to produce high-quality, locally made Taiwanese knives that align with contemporary lifestyles, maintaining a physical store to continue serving the public with dedication.
