Instead of digging up the old thread, I decided to post the photos here of my newest acquisition, a Konosuke Chuka (#6 cleaver) in white steel #2. I've had it for about a month or so and I love it!
I haven't sharpened it yet... it kinda scares me I think I need to call Jon -- who certainly deserves a shout out here!
Nice Patina going:
Spine:
Tip:
Choil:
Here are some measurements I posted before (although I don't have calipers so anything 1.5mm or less is an estimate):
Overall: 221mmx110mm, handle to tip is 228mm
Height:
@tip - 108mm
1/4 blade from tip - 109.5mm
Mid blade - 110.5mm
3/4 blade from tip - 109mm
@heel - 109
Spine thickness:
@heel - ~2.5mm
midblade - 2
@tip - <1mm
