Right, sorry about the delay, it slipped my mind.
Here are the photos as promised:
The measurements:
Heel to tip: 291mm
Machi to tip: 305mm
Height at heel: 45.4mm
Thickness at the handle: 4.4mm
Thickness at heel: 4.5mm
I haven't used the knife yet but, well, it's a beast at 300mm. It comes screaming sharp out of the box and he F&F is good. The spine is releaved and the neck is not sharp. The handle is nice enough. The machi looks great and the sand blasted bit at the heel looks fantastic.
I guess the important part of this knife is the profile and the tip. In terms of profile, it has a fantastically generous flat, as you'd expect from a Kiritsuke. I would put it at 70% of the blade length being dead flat and then an ever so slight curve up towards the tip for the rest of the blade.
The tip itself is really good, very very thin. I would imagine this tip will perform very well.
There is some distal taper but the spine is sturdy, there is zero flex to the blade.
In terms grind, it's dead flat on one side and nicely convex on the other. I do have to say that eventhough this is technically single bevel, it's actually not very noticeable. I'm guessing you wouldn't have too much steering with this blade. You can see this from the choil shot above.
If I had to change one thing about the knife, it'd be the height. I would have preferred another two or three millimetres of height.
I hope this helps. Let me know anything else you need to find out about the knife.
