Budget Stainless Suji Recommendations

[Chang]

Lookin’ for a sub $200 stainless suji for my co-chef. What y’all got? Preferably something 60 HRC or higher. Thanks!

Length?

I've got the 270 Masahiro VC (carbon) and I like it a lot; I'm not a pro. Reputable folks say the MV (stainless) is good stuff for the money. Mono will be easy to maintain. It will be righty biased. Global Kitchen Japan has 15% off for the next day or so.

If you're willing to wait for a week or so, Amazon Japan ships for free Tojiro DP (also known as Fujitora)
VG10 core 270mm suji: https://www.amazon.com/TOJIRO-Co-Ltd-Production-FU-806/dp/B06WLNJ9ND
I've bought a couple of the Tojiro/Fujitora petties from Amazon Japan, no issues.

Another plus, is that it doesn't have the "Made in Japan" stamp that the US market versions have.

Are you righty?

If yes, what do you think of this?

I know it's 240 but in stainless at that price options get limited so...

Have the boys toss one of the $30 handles on and I'd bet it would serve him well.

Just an option is all.
