Yeah.
My friend really went off the deep end after I gifted him something special about a month ago and would like to ask for advice. However, he is lazy as all hell and thus I am the intermediate posting for him.
At the moment his collection is along the lines of:
240mm Yo-handle Denka Gyuto
240mm Kagekiyo Blue #1 Gyuto
240mm Takada no Hamono Suiboku White #2 Gyuto
240mm Takada no Hamono Suiboku Blue #1 Gyuto
225mm Jiro #287 White #1 Wa-Gyuto
180mm Wat Pro Nakiri
165mm Shig KU Nakiri
150mm Kono Sumiiro Petty
His thoughts in no specific order:
Kagekiyo vs Takada no Hamono Suiboku Blue #1, both made by Tanaka with top tier F&F but both in the same steel from the same smith.
Takada White #2 would make the most logical sense out of them all given redundancy between the Jiro and Suiboku Blue #1.
The Shig KU Nakiri is a grail (its Shig after all) but is less flexible in general use compared to the longer Wat Pro.
What would you all decide to move?
