So, I've been after a Kato for a while, and have now scavenged together the cash. But, availability is limited and a Carter is only a few hundred bucks more. There's still a few problems with availability but I'm hoping to ask people here who've owned both what they think?
Have you had a knife from either maker? What did you prefer, and why?
If you had your choice again what would you do?
I like solid knives and have a Watanabe and Heiji, and I also like thinner knives too, and have a Wakui which is beautifully thin behind the edge with great distal taper, as well as a thin Sab carbon slicer. This next knife won't be the 'one' to do it all, so don't worry. In time I'll likely get both, but on a budget I'd like advice on what to get first.
Thanks
