I have the takohiki in 240, for baby octopus I guess ;) Really like Shinichi's knives, always have. They were my first step into the world of low production/handmade knives, and while I have seen a few others along the journey, I would not hesitate to buy another Watanabe knife. And with the current exchange rate, his prices have become really good again.

I am a huge fan. Dollar for dollar best cutters I have beyond a doubt.
 
Thanks for the words everybody. Shinichi Watanabe really delivers for the $$$ IMO too.

Congratulations sausage, I was eyeing that deba too. Norm says you've been tearing up the poultry! Nice pickup!

Apicius9, I considered 240 but have a takeda yanagiba in that length. Thought I would go bigger, especially with the squared point.
I had read that the lack of a tip on these knives owes to feudal days when pointing a knife at one's master was a criminal act. Seems a clever move if it is true.
