Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum, so Hi everyone. I'm quite new in the field. My interest started Last year when I traveled to kyoto and bought an usuba from aritsugu and a santoku from shigeharu. Both were definitely on the lower end and costed jess than 100$. Now I got the chance to be in Japan again at he moment and tomorrow I'll go to osaka and hey for 2 nights.
This time I would love to but a gyuto (240 or 270mm) and I am willing to speND slighty more for it. 200 is no problem but I would like to be less than 300.
So my first question is: where shall I go? Is there a good store in osaka or must I go to sakai?
and my second : What shall I get? I would really enjoy a smaller producer, at least one which is hard to find in germany. As I have 2 decent German chef knives and I'd prefer it to be a bit thinner and Japanese looking.
Well thanks so much, and sorry about the short notice.
all the best,
Dominik
