Does wakui make a bigger rectangle?

[chiffonodd]

Here's another question I shouldn't be asking, but my wife forgot to activate my shock collar this morning so here I go:

Wakui makes what looks like a reaallly nice v2 ku nakiri. Beautiful distal taper, very thin edge. Length is not bad at 180, but I wonder if there is a taller version somewhere? Or even . . . a chuka?

Time for a massdrop?

PS who, if anyone, could make this happen?

Has anyone tried weld a nakiri to a softer back plate? Might work

There was a Kaeru WH nakiri at JNS a year or so back but I've never seen a pic, not even the listing had one. Specs were 180x60mm from memory.

If anyone can make it happen, it’s @maxim. I’m sure there would be a bunch of interest.

Haha I was gonna make a joke about a Wakui WH Nakiri but seeing as it apparently exists...joke is on me

If @maxim gets a wakui cleaver mass drop, I want in.

Me too for sure. If he could just extend the philosophy of the v2 ku nakiri 180 to a chuka pattern that would be amazing.

A 210 WH nakiri would be nice : )

NEED a Wakui tallboi. 210 WH or 180 chuka/tall nakiri would all be delightful

 

[tostadas]

I'd be down for a wakui rectangle totally

I am working on something, but with Wakui takes always forever Both Kaeru SS and Wakui

The V2 is nice but i would bet that the aogami iron clads are much nicer. That is what i would order.
I wanted to buy the 210mm gyuto but somebody else got it..
There is a santoku and petty left though:
Wakui aogami migaki nakiri
Wakui aogami migaki santoku

Just get a Toyama

By something you mean cleaver
