I'll take that bet. I've done a fair amount of research, those ones on the left are P01 (larger) and P02 (slightly smaller) welded steel handle. Pretty good, steel type is 4Cr13.
Knife Size:
P01--214x102x2.5 mm
P02--206x94x2.3 mm
P03--197x85x2.2 mm
P04--184x80x2.0 mmThe F208 is the 'pro' version, with higher carbon steel sandwiched between softer steel for better edge retention. Better fit and finish and blade geometry too. Uses 80cr13 sandwiched between 20cr13 sides.
There is also a wooden handled intermediate version S318 which uses the less sophisticated steel (50Cr15Mov)
Supposedly lifetime warranty, how easy it will be to take advantage of that, I'm not sure, but it is through Amazon, so maybe possible.
If anyone is interested in chinese cleavers, this is a fabulous price:

Shibazi F208-1 clad steel, for £15.99 at the moment with vouchers.
Loads better than a typical Asian supermarket cleaver, and imo better than the heavily marked up CCK cleavers, with better fit and finish.
