-- Zhang Xiaoquan has represented Chinese excellence in knife-making for nearly four centuries, combining heritage with modern craftsmanship. Founded in 1628, the company started as a small scissor shop catering to the imperial court during the Ming Dynasty. In partnership with BEA-VITALITY, Zhang Xiaoquan has entered the Australian market to provide various products, including chef knives, cleavers, kitchen tools, and more.
Zhang Xiaoquan's legacy is founded on a meticulous 72-step manufacturing process that includes cold forging, tempering, and precise edge sharpening. This process ensures that every knife reflects the wisdom of generations of skilled artisans. Recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2006, the brand has maintained its status as one of China's earliest "time-honoured" enterprises.
The Australian collection features knives crafted from three distinct steel grades. Each grade serves specific culinary purposes, from everyday food preparation to specialized cutting tasks. Its meat cleavers and chef knives offer a professional-grade experience at competitive prices, often 50-70% lower than comparable European brands. This affordability and quality have made Zhang Xiaoquan a preferred choice for those seeking reliable kitchen tools.
The Chef Knives collection features multiple variants, including the 40Cr13 Steel Hunter Knife, 50Cr15MoV Steel Antibacterial Chef's Knife, and 70Cr17MoV Steel Multi-Function Knife. The 40Cr13 provides decent hardness and corrosion resistance for outdoor applications. At the same time, the 50Cr15MoV adds antibacterial properties for enhanced food safety in kitchen use. The 70Cr17MoV steel, known for its extreme hardness and wear resistance, serves professional chefs and home cooks.
The Meat Cleaver series demonstrates the brand's versatility in knife crafting. The collection includes three main categories: the Chinese Vegetable Cleaver for vegetables and boneless meats, the Chinese Santoku Cleaver for multi-purpose use, and the Heavy-Duty Meat Cleaver for handling larger cuts and softer bones. These cleavers feature blade thicknesses between 6 to 9 inches, designed for durability and consistent edge retention.
Each blade undergoes careful steps from cold forging to edge sharpening, embodying centuries-old craftsmanship alongside rigorous quality control. The manufacturing process ensures long-lasting sharpness, making these tools reliable for daily kitchen use. The cleaver designs emphasize versatility, allowing users to handle various cooking tasks, from cutting through thin bones to preparing hard vegetables.
Beyond its knife collections, Zhang Xiaoquan produces a comprehensive range of kitchen tools. The product line includes knife sharpeners to maintain blade performance, kitchen scissors for precise cutting tasks, household and garden shears for various applications, and traditional kitchenware such as pots, pans, and chopsticks.
