Looking to buy a yanagi in 30cm length. I am an avid pescetarian and slice fish a lot. But I also have a part time weekend job as sushi chef. Looking for white steel.

I was about to go with the tojiro white 2 30cm yanagi but then I started reading all this stuff about it not being flat and needing a bunch of fixing on coarse stones... and that intimidates me as someone who has never sharpened or touched a single bevel, nevermind fixing one!!

Other suggestions I've seen online are the takayuki and yoshihiro. But I'm not looking to spend a f ton on this, maybe 150-300
 
The tojiro 30cm white 2 yanagi is only 170$ which is part of the appeal.
 
I can vouch for Takayuki kairyo yanagiba at MTC. They get them with nicer handles and hand engraving. The grinds are really good so for the price the knives are a steal.

For something different I like the Chubo Takayuki kurouchi ones. Also nice handles and hand engraved.
