## Long description

gude Alpha Chai Dao 16 cm is a kitchen knife with a Chai Dao-style blade designed for versatile chopping, slicing and portioning in everyday food preparation. The medium-length 16 cm blade supports controlled cuts on vegetables, fruits and boneless proteins, while the pear wood handle provides a traditional wooden grip that balances comfort and tactile feedback for routine kitchen tasks.
Advantages
The Chai Dao-style blade profile combines a slightly curved belly with a broad heel, enabling both rocking and push-cut techniques. The 16 cm length offers a balance between maneuverability and cutting surface, suitable for medium-sized preparation jobs. The pear wood handle is shaped for a secure hold and natural warmth in hand, and the knife's overall construction is intended for regular household use.

Slicing and chopping vegetables and fruits

Key specifications
Blade style: Chai Dao / Chinese chef-style profile with curved edge
Blade length: 16 cm (medium length for versatile kitchen tasks)
Handle material: pear wood shaped for ergonomic grip
Intended use: slicing, chopping, portioning of vegetables, fruits and boneless proteins
How to use
Hold the knife with a firm pinch grip on the blade and thumb/index finger near the bolster for precise control, or use a traditional handle grip for longer cutting motions. For slicing, use a smooth push-cut or draw-cut along the curved edge; for chopping, employ a controlled rocking motion with the tip in contact with the board. Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers clear of the path of the blade. After use, clean and dry the knife by hand to preserve the pear wood handle and blade condition.
Usage recommendations
Maintain a sharp edge with regular honing and periodic professional or at-home sharpening. Avoid soaking the pear wood handle or exposing the knife to prolonged high humidity; dry thoroughly after washing. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to protect the edge and ensure safe handling.
