Proper workpony! I'm also not into polishing

interesting, I like the specs... any idea who makes this?
I wish they disclosed heel height and spine thickness. But judging from the edge length and weight it should be somewhat thin.

Not sure… I saw Ichimonji and Takayuki selling similar knives, could be an OEM. Anyway I made an inquiry to Kiya, hope they will reply
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.

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

Worth a try
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.

Yup, cleaver is the most versatile. Really can do it all
I'm pumped for ARM. Might even do some all rectangle holidays just to make sure I'm properly prepared
Check this out Rectanglers...

Only four of them and I think it's safe to say one is already spoken for.

A little soba-kiri action to get everyone in the mood. From lunch today
Another worthy contestant is born!
Asked for it to be extra thick out of the bolster, aogami blue #1, and it’s going to have a lovely carved handle and a p grind

I do not understand. There are so many rectangles out there, waiting for you!!!
Countdown will be here. I was planning on keeping it all in one thread.
Unless everyone thinks each year should be a new thread...?
