SRK8 which I have no experience with but I'm poised to snag this the second the stock notice comes back

180x74mm

Rookie mistake @SwampDonkey
Now people are going to write bots for it, and it's going to be harder to get than a Jiro

I'd rather buy from y'all and I'd rather his aogami #2. You should sweet talk Shindo-san

So you want a Shindo-forged Warkomi Blue #2 Tall Nakiri special edition? I will get 4- they price was higher than usual - I will post them for $199- which will be about $169 shipped if you use KKF15 coupon. I do not know if I can get them again, so if you want to reserve one email me at [email protected]

Not sure if they will be the same but here's the post that seems to have inspired this:

Thanks! Definitely interested

So now my question is @TokushuKnife, can you get us fan boys Moritaka t-shirts?!

Unfortunately, They won't. be in our hands for about 2 -3 months. I assume close to his 180mm Tall Nakiri in Enjin Series. We have one left for reservation as it looks like KKF fans will have them all reserved.

Aside from the extra tall (75mm height) nakiris, I see that Moritaka nakiris are offered in a 180mm length / 60mm height, and a 165mm length / 50mm height. Since the grind on these nakiris is so uniquely low, starting close to the edge, what benefit does the extra height provide? More board clearance for larger hands, and better scooping? I am tempted to think that the slightly lower height 165mm nakiri would be more nimble and effective despite the shorter length, which may be bordering on heresy given that I've noticed a strong preference for 180mm nakiris on this forum.

I use a non-Moritaka 165 all the time and probably more than anything else the last couple months. I wanted the 180 Moritaka because I have a multiple 165's and for larger stuff like cabbage heads.

I don't have one of the taller ones but I'd add to your list the weigh that likely helps it get through produce.

Makes sense to me, and good point about the added weight. Thanks!
