Received my 210 Toyama from JNS today. While it is something I can easily fix, I was kind of surprised how dull the out of the box edge was. Will need to be touched up on a stone before dinner tonight for sure.
May I ask what is the weight of the Munetoshi nakiri? I got the Toyama 180 a few months back and it is a fantastic knife, but a bit too heavy for me it seems ...

Thank you guys and galls Indeed my Toyama weights some 197g. I learned with it that I love the blade height (and Toyama knives). For a while I also had a 'normal' sized nakiri (165 mm and 150g) which I first found it a bit too light, but what I actually really wanted was more blade height.
I have some local interestees in the knife and should it not sell I will give you guys heads up, but since I am located in EU (and thus payed the price with VAT) I might not be able to offer you the knife that much cheaper as if you would buy it new. But enough about that, let's not turn this thread into a BST.
Well, I sit in the EU, not far from the geographic middle of Europe (Kremnica) [emoji6]
Vari dalsi Slovak na KKF?
@MastrAndre - what made you decide on a Watanabe nakiri instead of a Toyama?
Ani nie, som len Talian a ijem na Slovensku, v iline...
Ale to je skoro to iste [emoji6]
Well...I wanted a Toyama, but nothing available...then I dropped an email to Shinichi (I had at that time already several awesome knives from him) and asked if he could make me one...
End of the story: I didn't buy one Toyama nakiri, but 3 from Watanabe (180 KU, 210 KU, 210 Kasumi)...
Pictures pretty please? I only have the 165 KU.
