fwiw I went with the smaller cck (op here). I went with it cause it mostly because it was cheaper and wanted to try a cleaver. Very nice knife. The small is still a nice size, big enough for most work (haven't used it a lot yet though), and fits nicely in my drawer as I didn't have space on my...

Great info so far. Very useful. Thanks all!

Sorry for the newb question but I don't fully get the petty. I get the petty for meat when one does not want a giant knife. Seems like 150 mm is the popular size for veg but wouldn't a 165 nakiri or even santoku be better choice? Please school me on the subject. Thx

mmm 1101 is even bigger than the 1103

i hate plastic ferrules, will probably go with the dojo, ordered a kiwi on ebay as you suggested earlier too, also interesting is the thread about the guy selling the yamawaku on ebay http://www.cheftalk.com/t/65771/yamawaku-gyuto-chef-knife-my-story-with-the-ebay-vendor-please-read

big one?

can anyone compare these to the shibazi cleavers?

none, also considering something i can get locally for $20 bucks cause i would have to order the cck online and the bigger one is $60
