When you’re having too many knives already and then ARM-fever kicks in, and then a so-called „friend“ (i.e. son of a …) directs you to a maker‘s shop, and of course I have no self-control…

I look forward to taking 2 new additions to the boards for a comparison.
@KDSDeluxe , I know you did that on purpose!!!

I wouldn't have sold mine if it had those dims. Looks perfect! Seeing yours makes me want a big one like my Unshu here. Cleaver making an appearance for ARM here too.

Togashi White #2 Chinese Cleaver. Original owner purchased from Kappanbashi and chipped it on chicken bones. I bought it and fixed it up. Lost a little bit of height, but still plenty of cleaver to work with. Togashi’s white 2 is nice and toothy.
Alright KKF, we just slipped into the second half of ARM24. The clock is ticking but there's still plenty of time to join the ARM'd Forces! Maybe you don't have a rectangle in your arsenal? No worries, ARM is, again, a celebration of the rectangle so there's no better time than now to find one you like and place an order. Buying a rectangle during ARM is the ultimate rectangle salute!
@TokushuKnife has some nice affordable options. Kyohei, Tokushu house brand, a sexy Moritiaka, and more. They have a few cleavers in stock as well. Code KKF15 gets you 15% off!
Remember, we welcome full and part time ARM'd warriors!

How about buying multiple rectangles during ARM?

We salute your sacrifice brother.
My nakiris were not up to a 4 inch radish. Cleaver night.
Made a nice side with homemade guacamole on a tostada. Cumin forward vinaigrette was a surprise and good on the slaw.

If you did that leaf with your nakiri your are exemplary arm member.Today‘s morning coffee:
That looks delicious. Did you put the meat on it after the pic?
Spare put in some major work for me tonight! Big batch of bolognese. The pork and lamb for the recipe were ground up previously at home, but I didn’t wanna pull out my beast of a grinder for just 3 pounds of beef. No taper at all on this one, forward balance, little to no curve to the cutting edge… got the job done well. I love my gyutos but except for very specific applications, I would never really need them if I have my rectangles 
It was delicious and a side dish. Meat was in the main coarse. Roast carnitas would elevate this to a main coarse.

ooo which cleaver is that?

Wouldn’t have thought about using a rectangle for cutting bread if it wasn’t ARM but once you try it, there’s no going back.
