Guys,
I return from my Hiatus seeking your knowledge once more! Last year, my better half was kind enough to buy me my first Japanese knife; an Itinomonn semi-stainless gyuto. The knife has served me well, although I must admit, I'm still a bit cautious when using it due to its laser like properties, and almost avoid it entirely when tackling root vegetables.
I was hoping to purchase a Nakiri which will solve that problem. The petty knife would make a trio, which would be more than adequate for 99% of the tasks I'd be carrying out. A year ago I was apprehensive about carbon knives, due to the greater care they demand - however, after a year of owning an a premium knife I believe I'm ready to make the jump.
So far, I've narrowed down my options to the following:

I haven't had a chance to look at Petty knives yet (that's where your knowledge comes in handy), but I'd like it to be 150mm.
Budget is ~ £150 for the Nakiri and £100 - £150 for the petty knife.
Once again, your help and expertise is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jordan
