Helping a friend buy a gift for her husband. After extensive research on my side - back and forths - she is set on buying a Tanaka Ginssan, 240 or 270. The usual vendors are all out!
Any other leads?
If push comes to shove, what would be an alternative?
She wants a Japanese handle, stainless steel, up to $200 ... and doesn't really like Damascus (or Hammered).
Western handle would be super easy. Just go with FKM or Tojiro DP and call it a day, throw in a Parer and a Nakiri at that price
Maybe I should suggest a re-handle of a Western blade? Anyone ever rehandled a Tojiro DP?
