Hi all,
I'm looking for a wa-handled, thin, 120-130mm petty. No strong preference for carbon or stainless as long as the performance is good.
The reason I'm avoiding 150mm is that it seems uncomfortable for working in-hand, especially for coring.
This will replace a Tojiro DP 80mm paring knife - too short, and much too handle-heavy.
So far I've seen these options:
- Eden Kanso Blue 135mm #2 http://www.edenwebshops.co.uk/en/pt/-eden-kanso-aogami-utility-knife-13-5-cm.htm - not sure how thin this is
- Gesshin Ginga 120mm (White #2 or mystery stainless)
- Konosuke HH or White#2 120mm
- Tanaka Damascus Blue #2 130mm
- Moritaka Aogami super 130mm (perhaps overgrinds are less of a problem on shorter knives?)
- Minamoto Tamehisa Shirogami 135mm http://www.japanische-kochmesser.ch...oto-Tamehisa-Shirogami-Petty-135mm::2789.html
- Hayashi Blue #2 135mm http://www.japanische-kochmesser.ch...ogami-2-Damascus-brown-Petty-135mm::2778.html
- Goko Hamono White #1 http://www.japanische-kochmesser.ch...no-Shirogami-1-Petty-120mm-Nashiji::2803.html
What do you think of these? Do you have more to suggest?
