Dengjia Vegetable Cleaver TM9080 Stainless Steel - 9Cr18MoV

Dengjia or also known as Deng is a manufacturer since 1898. They are still using traditional forging methods but has figured out how to reduce labor cost by using 3 different materials to make their Chinese cleavers. TM-9080 is Dengjia's high-end Chinese Vegetable Cleaver that is highly catered for the home cooks that seeks longer edge retention while having a sharper performance. They achieved this by using a san-mai cladding and a very nice profile tapering (Thick spine but very thin edge).

N O T E S: This is an updated review of the Mijia version that is made by Dengjia but instead of Mijia, we are reviewing the original TM-9080. I did a review of the Mijia cleaver which Dengjia made for Xioami that is based on their TM9080. After that video, Dengjia contacted me with a surprise gift of the original TM-9080 and they also added 2 other cleavers as a gift. They did not ask me to make a video and wanted to thank me for making a review video about the Mijia cleaver. The other Dengja cleaver that I received and will review are JCD904 (Vegetable Cleaver/Slicer) and BZ4401 (Bone Cleaver).
