Asian Knives, Cleavers
& Other Asian
Cooking Unensils

Knives and Smaller Utensils
Wusthof Classic 8-Piece Santoku Block Set - Wusthof makes great knives, sturdy and easy to grip. It is always good to have all your knives ready to go in a block set.
Wusthof 9291-9 Classic Black Asian Cutlery Set in Bamboo Box (2-Piece) - A nice gift idea.
Wusthof Classic 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife - This is one of 2 Wusthof knives I have and I love it. Great for fine chopping and thin slicing.
Joyce Chen Chinese Kitchen Knife 8" - This knife gets a lot of use in my house. It has been a workhorse for 25 years and it is still a fine knife (this despite the small amount of damage I did to it thinking it was a cleaver and first using it on pork bone). It's weight is perfect for chopping.
Henckels Five Star 7" High Carbon Stainless Steel Fillet Knife
Shun 7-Piece Asian Block Set - For the serious chef. Top-notch.
Wusthof Classic 6" Cleaver - Now this cleaver is what you can cut up a pig with.
Cutting Boards Browse Pages at Amazon - Synthetic Boards - Wood Boards - There are so many different kinds for different uses. Personally, I like to keep one small plastic one, and one large wooden one.
Granite Mortar & Pestle, made in Thailand, 3 cup - (2 cup) - This is an essential piece of equipment for Asian cooking. Yes, you can use a food processor, but you usually don't get that special blending of flavors that grinding the ingredients in one of these will give you. Also comes in 2 cup.
Japanese Grater - Tin plated copper grater for fine grating of ginger and horseradish.
Bamboo Sushi Mats - The way to roll sushi. Get several mats so you can create more than one at a time.
Claw Cracker for Lobster and Crab - Makes life so much easier.
Lamson Sharp Fishknife/Scaler - Walnut handle.
Oyster Knife
