That’s really reassuring to hear! I do think that even when the knife was brand new I wasn’t overly in love with it.
The difference between a German mainstream brand nakiri and a well done Japanese one are night and day.
If you don't mind a rustic finish and maybe a need to do some light sanding on the spine and choil but with the tradeoff being a good performing knife at an approachable price and from a great seller, then Michael of Knife Japan has you covered.

If you've never bought from overseas, it's easy. No different than buying in the states and Michael's shipping is very fast.
If you want something more specific or aesthetic, then I'd suggest you copy/paste this questionnaire into a new thread in the Kitchen Knife sub-forum:

Since I've hardly cooked at home this march, at least almost nothing that requires a knife, I feel like I let the ARM crowd down.
Same, I had about 2 weeks and then it's been hotel living sinceSince I've hardly cooked at home this march, at least almost nothing that requires a knife, I feel like I let the ARM crowd down.
I did bring a nakiri thinning project with me though so at least that counts for something?

Last year I failed early since I went to Fredrik Spåre's forge and made a triangle in the end of March. What were the odds? I hope something similar don't happen this year...

Unknown beater by the stove:
The nice ones by the cutting board. Kajibei, Watanabe, and... a taiwanese rectagle from Copenhagen.
It's probably bad for to join the party so late. Like forgetting to wear green to Saint Patrick's Day Happy Hour. Better Nate than lever!
I bought this thing at a flea market awhile back. Haven't had time to play with it much.
Probably more pleasant with the sound off!

Cutting some ginger
Happy ARM!

Sir! It's never too late to jump into ARM! Especially for one with such a distinguished rectangle history.
What? Can't hear you over the video blaring over the Bluetooth speaker!
Ok good. Here's another.
Fine diced onion (basically a brunoise but there is always 14 French chef wannabe pedants who show up in the comments if you call something a brunoise but aren't sufficiently anal about it)
Pineapple
Pizza night?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
No pizzas were harmed in the prepping of this pineapple..........
Yet!
So far just fish curry
Just unboxed! Kyohei Shindo 165 b2 nakiri from @TokushuKnife 
I can tell this is gonna be a sick cutter. Not often to see this sort of accessible price point and rustic charm combined with a much, much more expensive looking grind and distal taper. This might be the formula.

It’s 江门利器厂 正三珩瓦, reads in Mandarin Jiangmen knife Factory Zheng (Zheng usually means original/authentic in this sense) San Heng Wa, it originated in Guangdong but I don’t know how Cantonese would pronounce it. Chinese source says it was established in later Qing as just San Heng Wa, but later would brand out in 1930s to bunch of businesses include Zheng San Heng Wa, some. The brand still exist today but mostly just stainless factory knives now

Yep, you get a lot of performance from Shindo for not a lot of money.
First I joined the rectangle cult, then I joined the Shindo cult. What's next??
