Have you seen the "new" CCK kiritsuke style cleaver?

[JWK1]

I was perusing the only dealer with a decent inventory of CCK on the bay. This new thing popped up. Two different sizes, a 210 and a tiny little 150 (but actually spec says 148).

Gimmick or useful, innovative hybrid? Just wondering what your thoughts are. The only thing that jumped out at me initially was the price. The 210 will cost $60 more than a 1303 or 1302 from CKTG, and they claim an exclusive model, so not available anywhere else. Hard for me to say whether the market will bear a $160 210mm CCK to your door.

I've seen these but really don't have much of an opinion so commenting to watch. I think of a tip as primarily for stabbing so probably limited but real utility? We trimmed and portioned beef and pork (not so much chickens) with bog standard cleavers at my parents' restaurants but the technique is pretty different from how people use boning and filet knives.

is this actually a lesser known traditional style or is even cck not immune to the serbian cleaver pandemic

I'm not a fan and won't be buying one for myself. But if there's a market for it, then who am I to judge?

If you scan the QR code on the knife, you can order one and become a mall ninja too.

I think the internal model number is KKFM1K3

The fact that it's being called "kiritsuke cleaver" leads me to suspect that anglosphere weebs were involved.

The Taiwanese seem to have a somewhat similar design (I'm assuming that 肉桂刀 is jio̍k-kuì-to or lio̍k-kuì-to in Taiwanese?), but those tend to be much curvier.

It reminds me of the Tinker Tank… which is essentially a nice Serbian Cleaver.
