Looking for some input on these two knives.
Checked out the masakage today in a shop and it was very nice but at $300 is a bit pricey (I am a student / home cook).

also looked at the Masakage Mizu but the handle seemed a bit cheap

the moritaka @ $130 is less than half the price

can any one help inform my choice? i read about some qc control issues with the moritaka but those were very old posts
thanks a lot!
