i have made the necks a lil smaller on my last cleavers, but from15 down to 8-10mmI see, it's neck or nothing![]()

Not sure… I saw Ichimonji and Takayuki selling similar knives, could be an OEM. Anyway I made an inquiry to Kiya, hope they will replyinteresting, I like the specs... any idea who makes this?
I with they disclosed heel height and spine thickness. But judging from the edge length and weight it should be somewhat thin.
Having handled one, I would say Sugimoto. The grind marks and sandblasted finish on the bevel looks the same. Sugimoto used to make their cleavers with the same handles.interesting, I like the specs... any idea who makes this?

Sakai Kikumori also have a couple listed on their site. Since Miura gets the scale handle gokujyo maybe worth emailing them?

Worth a tryanyone knows if they sell direct?
profile seems to vary a lot between each model
I just gave mine another round of minor thinning and quick/lazy refinish to hide deeper scratches. Good knife, low spots weren’t as bad as on some Sakai cleavers (although that will vary knife to knife) and Tanaka white 2 edge retention is fine as long as you keep the knife very thin BTE and maybe finish the edge on naturals vs synthetics. If you thin it for 2ish hours and round the spine and choil some, you basically have a Konosuke FM white 2 chuka bocho.http://www.kikumori.co.jp/english/product/china/index.html

Ain’t there even a countdown thread started about it? If it doesn’t happen I don’t see what can happen.
There may be, but I will be resolute to my vision. Customs only for this lefty.I do not understand. There are so many rectangles out there, waiting for you!!!![]()
