Hi there,
I am heading to Hong Kong at the end of January for a few days and will try to make a visit to Chan Chi Kee probably to get CCK 1103 carbon slicer. 1103 would be comparable in size to Sugimoto #6 which, for me, is at a nice size and weight. I had CCK 1111 before. It is a huge stainless steel slicer that has fairly thin grind. Its balance is quite forward though due to a large chunk of steel in front of light handle. After many months with it, I didn't quite like it enough and now it is (still?) with Dusty.
I probably can bring back a couple more CCK carbon slicers (not chopper because of heavier weight, and not stainless steel because of ...)
If any one is interested, post your intention here or PM me. Can't promise I can give CCK a visit. But if I can get something you want, from http://www.chanchikee.com/ChineseKnives.html, then you can pay me later for the actual goods plus shipping or pick up from Sydney.
There is a place in Sydney that stocks some CCK and Shibazi cleavers, although its price is a little bit (probably close to double) more than retail price in Hong Kong.
