Types of kitchen knives in China

Mulberry knife: rectangular, thin and long, generally black on the top and white on the bottom. It is the lightest and most commonly used knife. It can be used to cut meat and vegetables, but not bones, because the slit angle is extremely small and it is easy to get stuck with the knife.

Slicing knife: rectangular, wider than mulberry knife, hence the name silk dress, used for cutting things. It can be used to cut transparent meat slices (similar to a mulberry knife), which is generally heavy and cannot be used to cut bones (also called Wen Dao).

Military and civilian Dao: rectangular, thicker than flat Dao, with larger opening angle. Can be used to chop chicken bones, cut vegetables, chop, cut and scrape skin. It is widely used in modern families.
