yesterday I got a CCK 1103. It sharpened up nicely . Blade is super thin.
I really like the edge profile, it's fairly flat.
Not sure what grade or hardness of steel , or how edge retention will be.
It's slightly larger and weighs a little less than my SUIEN VC.
so it will take a little time to get used to.
But I like it so far. :biggrin:

Nice to hear. It's a popular model CCK 1103 and stiffer more robust than the CCK 1303 series. It is a touch thicker so I would class this in the medium cleaver weight range. Some guess/suggest it's about a 58-59 HRC; somewhere in between standard German and Japanese knife hardness. Edge retention is average compared to Blue 2 knives.

I like the edge profile especially on the CCKs.

Have fun with yours!
 
Great wee cleavers, I found putting quite a tight edge and wide microbevel (with a little thinning) produced something able to cope quite well with cuts across the spectrum. Enjoy!

I have the 1102 and 1303. The 1103 would be preferable as it's a little smaller than mine, but i wanted one with a plastic handle.
