Made my first purchase

[EvilGator]

I weighed and pondered all of the advice I have received from you guys and I pulled the trigger today. I emailed Shinichi at Watanabe this morning requesting information on purchasing a 180 mm Pro Nakiri and when they would be back in stock. He responded this evening and informed me that he completed three blades yesterday and that I could purchase one. Five minutes later I had tracked down my Paypal info and ordered the knife. I am super excited.

I went with the standard handle rather than the upgrade. Just in case I discover that this knife isn't my particular cup of tea. I can always change the handle later.

I will post pics when I get it.

Can't go wrong with the Wat Pro nakiri! Prepare yourself to chop a *lot* of veggies A good French onion soup is a nice way to stretch its legs.

Never thought I'd want or need a Nakiri, but I love using mine for certain jobs.

Very rarely do we follow need in the knife world. It usually starts with a simple desire that manifests as a want. What happens after that... who knows? Sometimes it might even be love.
