The more I get into this knife "mess" the more a few names pop up. Watanabe, Takeda, Shigefusa ... I own 2 Watanabes and Takedas. Got great deals on all of them ... now I am looking at Shigefusa. I really want a Gyuto, but I am not willing to jump that deep into cold water (yet) and pay that much. Well, actually I would ... but my wife doesn't want me to (sounds familiar?).
What I like to do and did in the past is find a low(er) cost way of familiarizing myself with a maker. What's your take on the simplest/cheapest way of experiencing Shig? I can probably get a Nakiri for less than $200 ... or wait for a sale in the forum and be fast enough (haha) ... or a passaround if that ever happens with a Shig (and the owner would be willing to include me, being new to the forum).
Any idea?
PS: I just saved us $120 each month in utilities by switching, so my wife agreed to up my knife budget for this year slightly LOL :bigeek:
