I don’t have anything from KnifeJapan yet…I've you want cheap and fun, Chopper King Small Slicer is hard to beat for $80 and has better steel than CCK. Mine is 204x90 cutting edge, 327 g. I can only find them listed by CKTG but maybe @blokey can point you to some international retailers.
Sugimoto #1 on Amazon is a killer price right now, though not sure how that will translate to you in the UK. I reaaally like the tall nakiri category but all mine have rounded tips, which I prefer frankly, so I can't help there.
Second the Chopper King recommendation. For under $100 new, not sure what else would come close.I've you want cheap and fun, Chopper King Small Slicer is hard to beat for $80 and has better steel than CCK.

Not sure about timing but maybe something from @Knot Handcrafted looks promising?

You're right that's a sweet boardY'all thought Cajun stew season was over because it's in the 70s? WRONG. I'm spamming this thread now since I'll be gone most of March.

For the past few days I've been trying to figure out/remember if the edge was me or the factory. Whatever it is, it's good and the shirogami has held bite for pepper skins nicely. Weight and geometry will compensate when it loses it.

It's down to 59 now! Good and proper stew weatherYou’re just gonna rub it in huh
Plz dont tell me all of that garlic is for one dish….Y'all thought Cajun stew season was over because it's in the 70s? WRONG. I'm spamming this thread now since I'll be gone most of March.

Karol Karys 235x67 AU/tight twist Damascus cladding super bunka
Karol marries brutalist aesthetics with unimpeachable craftsmanship and delivers knives with unique aesthetics and amazing performance!
Definitely as good as any western or Japanese makers out there!
just retake the picture from a different angle and its a rectangle.Rectangle police arise. Is a trapezoid a rectangle?
I would argue that all four sided blades be admitted to ARMRectangle police arise. Is a trapezoid a rectangle?
I would argue that all four sided blades be admitted to ARM
Does it really matter if all our angles are not 90 as long as they all add up to 360?
All four sided blades should be unified against their three sided rivals
Can we just all get along?
