I had told a friend of mine about Watanabe knives :

his first was a Gyuto :

I of course then talked him into a Nakkiiri :

he got the 150 mm blade . the 120 mm blade currently is sold out.
so I piggybacked on his order , as he uses PayPal , I do not.
I got the smaller Gyuto :

I now have both the 180 mm and the 150 mm.
you see them both above , along w a catalog they now send , and you get one of those
Japanese Bandanas' sorry , dopant know what you call them :
its a very indulgent purchase . but it came here on the day i sent in all my US Taxes , w payment.
got me back to a neutral keel.
the smaller Gyuto is a delight !
P.S.: I wonder what there second knife from the R in the pic from the brochure
My friend would enjoy this
