My 210 Denka lost 7g when it was thinned. But it was pretty svelte to begin with at 180g. I imagine your's might shed at least 20g+

Right on. I'm not bothered by the weight after growing up with german knives. But, it most certainly do with less thickness behind the edge.

It’s not just the looks, it’s also the performance - looking at them always makes me think that i “need” another Denka

Most certainly, unfortunately you all can't provide input on the latter from over the internet/via some photos.

Today I had to go to the post office twice because - no kidding - the postman was too lazy to ring at my door although I was home the whole day... But what am I complaining about, I have a job and I am healthy, and going to the post office twice a day keeps me fit! 😂

EDIT:
Tojiro 465g
CCK KF1303 255g

I've had a cleaver before, Sugimoto #6, which I couldn't get used to, it had to go. Now I'm back at cleavers with 2 new additions to my knife collection.
The Tojiro one is stainless and weighs 465g. First impression: feels pretty much the same as my Sugimoto.
The CCK one is supernimble, light, and despite its simplicity, non-existing F&F and its plain and boring standard handle which I had planned to remove, looks pretty cool and adds a new cleaver impression to my experience. This one will stay!!!

Kengata 190mm
Weight: 171g
Handle material: Stabilised birch with wenge
Handle length: 132mm (5.5")
Blade length: 190mm (7.5")
Blade depth: 47mm
Thickness at spine: 2.5mm
Thickness at tip: 0.5mm
Cutting edge: Double 50/50
Blade material: K720/O2 (Acid etched)
Hardness (Rockwell scale): 61-62

This is my first K720/O2 can wait to see what it can do, not super happy with the small scratches on the blade but will thin out anyway as a bit thick for my liking. Bought it from a knife maker in Poland and will let you know how it turns out. what you think?

Picked up this "gyuhiki" from kns last week. Flattened the bevels as I seem to compulsively do that to every new wide bevel I buy. First a bit skeptical as I've never come across a gyuto suji hybrid but it performs very nicely. Tall enough for knuckle clearance, slices just as well as a shorter suji. Barely any flex which Im loving. Very thin behind the edge, no wedging issues so far on the thicc carrots we've been getting. Honestly a great bang for your buck, great customer service too. Blue 2, edge length around 215mm. Highly recommend to anyone that works in a small line

I'd have gotten one long ago in ginsan if I was still cooking professionally. Great looking knife and tanaka's ginsan stays toothy sharp for a good long while.

Was looking at the ginsan, thankfully I went and explored the whole page to find they offered a blue version. I can't resist the carbon steels haha
