Product Description
The Dick Red Spirit Chinese Chopper is a broad-bladed cleaver-style knife designed for the repetitive chopping, slicing, and portioning tasks common in Asian-influenced prep work. Manufactured in Germany by F. Dick, it combines the traditional rectangular blade profile of a Chinese chopper with the material standards and tolerances expected from a European professional knife maker.
The high-alloyed stainless steel blade holds an edge well under sustained prep use and resists the staining and corrosion that comes with frequent washing and exposure to acidic ingredients. At 430g, the knife carries enough weight to assist with heavier chopping tasks without becoming fatiguing during extended prep sessions. The rounded, Asian-style red handle is designed to sit comfortably across a range of grip styles, which matters when a knife is being used across a full prep shift by multiple team members.
Practically, this knife suits kitchens where Chinese-style chopping technique is used regularly — breaking down vegetables, portioning boneless proteins, or the fine shredding associated with certain Asian dishes. It is not a bone cleaver and should not be used on hard bone or frozen product.
- Well suited to vegetable prep, boneless protein portioning, and fine shredding
- Straightforward to sharpen and maintain with standard professional sharpening equipment
- The red handle assists with colour-coded knife management systems where applicable
If you are equipping a larger brigade or need guidance on building out a knife roll for a specific cuisine style, the team is happy to help you put together the right selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — the Dick Red Spirit Chinese Chopper is designed for vegetable prep, boneless protein portioning, and similar tasks. It is not built to withstand the impact of chopping through hard bone or frozen product, and using it that way would damage the blade. A purpose-built bone cleaver is the right tool for those applications.
- The red handle makes it straightforward to incorporate into a colour-coded system where red is designated for a specific food type, such as raw meat. That said, handle colour alone does not guarantee compliance — your HACCP procedures and staff training determine how effectively colour coding works in practice.
- The high-alloyed stainless steel blade responds well to standard professional sharpening methods, including honing steels and whetstones. Regular honing during service will maintain the edge, with full sharpening as needed depending on use frequency. Like all professional knives, it should be hand-washed and dried rather than put through a commercial dishwasher to preserve both the blade and handle.
