My first Chinese cleaver, from Japanese maker :) Kuro uchi finish, but it's a beauty. Cuts like crazy after minor sharpening.

Kumagaro hammer finish Gyuto and Suminagashi Nakiri Hocho ordered. Kumagaro went straight for rehandling. Nakiri will be home soon. It's more stainless, so it'll be a beater for knife abuser folks around my kitchen. Watanabe Nakiri and Hontan Seiko Deba are going to be rehandled too.
