Shiro Kamo R2 Damascus 180mm Santoku as an extra knife in the house and something my 14 yo daughter can learn to use. Part of a recent buying spree including a 300mm suji and a 180mm suji petty.

The point is to find out what the differences are among them. Like I said I haven’t had the chance to handle any of them so I was hoping those that have could enlighten me. What is it about the Saji that you chose others over them?

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Denka’s prices direct aren‘t so bad (relatively) but they still come out significantly expensive. The practical side of me tells me to just go ahead and get the Sukenari. The reason why I wanted the Zero is it will be my only knife used outside the kitchen...

I‘m waiting for the 240/400 800/1200 Venev stones to arrive. I also replaced my cutting boards with Hasegawas and Asahis. And I’m about to pull the trigger on a TSProf K03. Talk about a rabbit hole! Hahahaha
