Hi All,
I'm really interested in getting a Takeda cleaver but I don't like the amount of belly on them (everything else about them is perfect to me). Just wondering whether it wouod be possible to have the belly/curve reduced (by a professional using stones, my sharpening skills aren't that good yet) and if so, would there be any danger of damage or reduction in functionality doing something like that? The money is not a big issue but I wouldn't want to pay more than $200 or so for the regrind, at that point I figure it would be cheaper to find someone to make a custom.
(Obviously this idea also has the advantage of being able to fix any thinness issues at the same time)
Any advice or thoughts on this idea most appreciated.
