Knife ID help please

[Chuckles]

Hoping somebody can help me figure out what this knife is. I bought it from somebody on this forum but can't remember who. It pretty hefty at the spine but very thin at and behind the edge if that helps.

Wakui stainless clad w#2?

Wakui it is. But whether white#2 or blue#2 is hard to tell.

Never seen a Wakui b#2, my guess it s w#2. Definitely a Wakui

 

[Matus]

The one I lined is blue#2, but it is not stainless clad.

Well, with apologies to EE for "borrowing" their pics, it looks like the 240 - 270 version of this line (octo ho handle, stainless clad w#2).

Pictured is a 210, so not as long of a flat spot.

Wakui rings a bell now. Definitely seems to be from the line available at EE. Thanks

It'll be up on BST soon.

You know you have 'too many' knives when you forget what they are 😉

More like you don't have enough knives UNTIL you forget what they are :whistling:

I stand corrected, I like this line of reasoning better
