The carving knife I am looking at, which is a mundial 5100 carving knife, looks the same as the sujihiki picture you posted.
...Never cared much for the German style with their big ass bolsters & finger guards.
I am kinda hesitant on buying good knives right away because I'm still learning how to sharpen knives. I don't want to get a nice knife and mess it up. I got some nice knives lined up for when I'm confident in my sharpening skills. Until then, I plan on experimenting and practicing on less expensive ones.

If you go slow and pay attention you're not going to do too much damage.
But, if you insist on going inexpensive, get the Victorinox.
Granted you should not be buying $300+ knives mirror finish knives, or damascus pattern blades or custom handles or custom blades at this time. But for your own good, please buy something, even a Tojiro or Fujiwara, that has a blade that will take and hold and edge. I still own an ugly carbon Tojiro that is about 100x times better than a Mercer. What you're doing now is buying a pile of thick knives with bad steel. Then when you decide to buy some decent knives, you will need to replace EVERY single one of them. How economical is that?

Just wondering if suji would be the next best alternative for just occasionally slicing some sashimi therefore owning a yanagiba cannot be justified.
You know if you had a knife for every time you've said that - you would have knives.:scratchhead:
