Helle everyone. I'm looking for a new nakiri as a gift for myself.

Denmark, but Im willing to order from outside the EU.

Nakiri
Are you right or left handed?
Right
Are you interested in a Western handle (e.g., classic Wusthof handle) or Japanese handle?
Western
What length of knife (blade) are you interested in (in inches or millimeters)?
165mm (Im open for slightly bigger)
Do you require a stainless knife? (Yes or no)

Better aesthetics. It is hard to describe exactly what Im looking for here due to that I find a lot of different styles beautiful. But Im definitely looking for something without a mass produced feel to it.
Comfort, better handle shape

At the moment synthetic, but that can change.

SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS
This will be a graduation gift to me, for finishing med. school, so Im planning on something special that I can remember for a long time.

The Saji R-2 damascus 165 nakiri with either bone or ironwood handle
The Tanaka R-2 165 nakiri ironwood handle
