Leung Tim Clad Carbon Steel Hair Cleaver (毛刀) with Wooden Handle is a traditional Hong Kong butcher’s knife, historically used in pork skin preparation. Forged using the heritage clad steel (夾鋼) method — with a razor-sharp carbon steel edge for performance, clad in softer steel for durability — this tool was designed for scraping pig bristles and processing pork skin after slaughter. Today, it remains a specialist butcher’s cleaver valued for trimming fat, skin, and surface preparation of pork. The natural wooden handle provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip, suitable for working with fatty cuts.

Scraping pig bristles after scalding
