Some more western knives and a regional bunka. First are two CCKs in like-new condition: a CCK Hong Kong style butcher's cleaver, and the original CCK pig sticker. The butcher knife is like a 10.5" cleaver with a rounded upturned nose that is also sharp (see picture). The nose is thinner than the rest of the cleaver. A really interesting shape that gives you more slicing distance per length. Tons of knuckle clearance, too (13.5cm tall).
The CCK pigsticker is about 275mm long, a good all around butcher knife. These are both durable workhorse style knives, and CCKs are always a bargain price.
Each CCK $50 shipped CONUS
Next are two vintage Beatty cleavers, a No.1 (8") and No.2 (9") in surprisingly good condition. As you can see below the handles are in great shape, and are solidly on. No idea how old they are, but more than twice as old as me is a safe bet.
Beatty No.1 $40 shipped
Beatty No.2 $50 shipped
Finally is a Japanese knife, a Tosagata white#2 satsuma bocho in like-new condition. It cutting edge is a little under 190mm long. This is an old Satsuma regional variation of the bunka bocho or home knife (now become the santoku). The profile is similar or perhaps more streamlined, but the blade is thicker than a santoku near the heel and tapers thinner toward the nose. One of the original useful multipurpose knives.
