Hello everyone
I'm thinking of getting a cheep stainless nakiri since I have good an extra handle.
Looking on ebay I found 2-3 possible candidates:
Yamawaku / Wakui VG10
Tanaka GV10
Tanaka Ginsanko
The Yamawaku / Wakui has a narrower tang the Tanakas but it's only VG10.
The Tanakas have that really wide tang coming out of the handle, might get in the way of a pinch grip. Might need some extensive sanding drilling.
Should I try to mimic the Fujiwara finger rest? Would that be hard to do?
Also I've read somewhere that the Tanaka Ginsanko will not be produced anymore. Is this true?
