My wife wants to make me a gift

[Alexec]

So my wife decided it is the time to gift me a knife. So i am supposed to forget some tabs with knives i like and she will pick the one she likes most! Only rule is that it has to be BUNKA or K-Tip( she will not realise that is not Bunka).
So what experience have you got on Bunkas?
Which Bunkas or KTip knives would you suggest ?

 

[Bensbites]

Makoto SG2 or Shibata would top my list.

If she buys you the Haburn, you'll know that you've been a good hubby!

 

[kevpenbanc]

What's your budget ?
Stainless or carbon ?
Western handle or japanese ?

I'd suggest filling in the which knife to buy questionnaire for some targeted recommendations.

 

[Panamapeet]

Agree with the above. Kagekiyo k-tip should be an awesome choice.

Your wife, does she have a sister?

Asking for a friend....

Without having an idea what you are looking for my choices in moderate price range are.

Masakage Yuki Bunka 170mm
Good Value for the money

Shibata Kotetsu R2 Bunka 175mm
These are really thin, so you might want to take that in consideration.

Syousin Chiku KU Bunka 165mm
It's made by Kurosaki and its Aogami Super clad in stainless steel.
It's a Knives and Stones exclusive. This would be my personal choice of the 3

I would was going to recommend a Kochi K-Tip gyuto but it appears most of them are out of stock at Japanese Knife Imports. The would be my choice above all the other options.

I have a k-tip mazaki white #2 from aframes - it's my most used knife and takes a lot of abuse. Youd help the knife out a lot by hand sanding/thinning kt

First time someone points at makoto! Whats your impressions?

I could have a look!

I have two makotos, white Damascus and SG2. I highly recommend googling for them. Repetitively thin behind the edge, but no toy. If you google for it, you will find more info. Gotta run.

I have a Makoto Shirogami 2, not the Damascus, and love it. It is a great performer at an exceptional price. This knife smacks down knives at twice it's price.
