Here is an example of the knife being used.

Notice it is similar but like a cleaver. I have also been trying to find the name of this, but the closest I found was a Japanese menkiri.

Hope someone can answer this.

PS: it is similar to the knife that was used by BanBan from one piece anime, which was asked by another user. What kind of cooking knife is this?

Updates:

I just found a clearer view of the knife at 3:58 in the video in the youtube link. Basically, it is like a cleaver, without the handle jutting out, but part of the blade it self. enter image description here

It should look something like this: I tried to use google image search, using this image, to find but no luck. enter image description here

PS: The photo above is photoshop of what I think the cleaver looks like.

    It doesn't look like a knife, it looks like a dough scraper. – GdD Mar 11 '21 at 08:17
  • There is actually a similar question asking about a similar type of knife: https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/73443/what-is-the-name-of-this-style-of-knife/114748#114748 , and I found out the name of the brand is "YAX" which is from Japan but it is a vintage type of knife. But it is still not the one I was looking for. – Nova_Super Mar 12 '21 at 09:40
  • I tried taking your mock-up and running it through various reverse image search engines (https://www.duplichecker.com/reverse-image-search.php), but had no luck. You might try changing the handle placement and try again -- on the left of the handle, the top of the metal aligns with the bottom of the wooden handle, not the top. (I suspect Baidu is likely best for this ... but I just got a page that translated to "Could not find information about the picture") – Joe Mar 12 '21 at 13:58
  • @GdD aren't dough scrapers curved? – RonJohn Mar 14 '21 at 03:15
  • I'd go to a restaurant supply company with the picture, and ask them. – RonJohn Mar 14 '21 at 03:24

    That's a scraper, not a knife, as in it doesn't have a sharp edge. That doesn't put you any closer to finding one, though. – FuzzyChef Mar 14 '21 at 05:01
  • @RonJohn, any luck? – Nova_Super Mar 16 '21 at 11:26
  • "I'd go to a restaurant supply company with the picture, and ask them" *if I were motivated to know what that knife is.* – RonJohn Mar 16 '21 at 15:15
  • I agree with @FuzzyChef. It's neither a knife nor a cleaver. It looks like a dough cutter. May I ask for what purpose you are looking for the name or the object itself? – Boondoggle Mar 24 '21 at 17:46

I also believe the style of knife you're looking for is called an "ulu" though the OP pix look to be a ulu cleaver.

Here is an ulu more similar to the OP pix: https://www.kitchenknivesonline.com/products/12-ulu-chef-knife-walnut

Might be a effort saving knife.

Or a Ulu knife, as you have noted in the other question. This one is a GH5074 Gil Hibben Knives Legacy Ulu Knife. GH5074 Gil Hibben Knives Legacy Ulu Knife

    That looks **nothing** like OP's knife: the handle position and orientation is completely different. – RonJohn Mar 14 '21 at 03:18
