Hello,

I'm selling my watanabe cleaver because I don't use it much anymore and I need money

The specs are #1 Kintaroame Chinese cleaver, 205mm length, 118mm height, 395g light version.

It's in very good shape. Never been sharpened.
I had to change the handle.

I live in spain but i can ship woldwide.

Price: 350€

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Really cool knife, I have some questions if you don't mind.

1. Is this wrought iron clad or stainless clad kintaroame? I've seen Shinichi sell both. Edit: Just kidding, that patina says iron clad.

2. What's the core steel?

3. Can you explain more about why you had to change the handle? Also, where did you get the new handle and what is the material?

4. Can you add some pics that show the grind? I had a Watanabe pro nakiri so I sort of have a sense of what the grind on the cleaver might be like, but I'm curious to see what Shinichi did with that nearly 60mm of additional height to work with.

5. What is the thickness of the spine?

6. What is the height and width of the handle?

Thanks!

Hi !

1- It's the Kintaroame

2- White 2

3- I have big hands, the original handle was too thin. My brother made it for me ! He works with wood. It's made of walnut.

4- Hopefully you can see the grind. The grind begins at 10cm.

5- Around 1,8 -1,9 mm

6- Same dimensions just thicker. 11cm height x 2,2cm width
