Bought ~165mm Santoku - Stainless preferred

[cwk.v]

Looking to buy a 165mm Santoku for my mother.

Stainless Steel strongly preferred. Probably ideal to not be crazy thin BTE.

If you don't get any offers here, look to Harukaze and Tsunehisa. Made by the same company. Good knives that offer more performance than standard westerns but don't tread too far into fragility. Haven't had any Harukaze but the few Tsunehisa's I've owned/tried have all been good.

Solid knives that won't break the bank.

Thank you, I appreciate the suggestion.

Would love to buy from a KKF member if possible!

I really don’t see how you could beat a takamura. They really aren’t all that delicate. My wife and I use ours quite a bit and its held up pretty well.

If you want a wa-handled laser in ginsan that feels very much like Takamura grind, the hatsukokoro hayabusa 170 at homebutcher is pretty sweet and under $100 if with a code.

Bumping once before I go the retail route!

I have a 165mm Kurosaki Senko SG2, like new (I have used it to prepare two or three meals top)
