Knife Knowledge/Knife basics: Chinese Cleaver vs. Everything... Every Knife!!!

This one knife is used for everything in Chinese culture. No task is too small or too big. This knife replaces your chef knife. It replaces all of the specialty knives. Your Gyuto, Honesuki, Petty/Pairing knife, Sujihiki, Yanagiba and your Nakiri! It does it all from deboning a chicken to dicing up shallots or garlic. It just takes some getting used to. I always promise to list the knives in these videos.
