I think Kaleab did the handle, I'd like to know what materials were used. It seems like copper spacing but I don't know the wood material.

Excuse the crap pic. Teruyasu Fujiwara cleaver and petty.
Picked up some vintage Sabatiers too, so pics of them to follow soon.

JKerr, could i trouble you for a choil shot of that cleaver? have you weighed it yet? i would like to hear your thoughts after youve had a chance to use it some.

Next to a Konosuke #6, Fujiwara on the left.
Weighs 535g so I guess I guess it's closer to a #7 in weight but the geometry is a bit closer to a #6. Actually pretty thin behind the edge but there's not a dramatic taper from the spine to the edge....if that makes sense, kinda contradictory. F+f is okay, pretty much what I expect from a cleaver; choil and spine are a little rough, handle is decent but not great, arrived with a great edge but there is a small wave near the heel, not a big deal though. It'll go on the stones later so hopefully that'll fix itself.
I'll post some more thoughts after I've sharpened and used it.
I should add, I bought straight from Fujiwara's website. He took a few days to confirm my order, but shipping was quick and I even got a free Fujiwara branded tea towel for keeping my knives dry
Cheers,
