italy, but whole eu is fine. i'd rather avoid importing charges if possible at all
KNIFE TYPE
deba
Are you right or left handed?
right

180?
KNIFE USE
home enviroment
i'll use it to fillet fish. mostly small fish weekly/biweekly, up to a salmon once or twice a year
What knife, if any, are you replacing?
not replacing, but at the moment i'm using a kyoei aogami super gyuto and a tojiro santoku. i'd like to try a single bevel, also for the fun of it.
Ease of Use and Care
Edge Retention (i.e., length of time you want the edge to last without sharpening)?
dont' care much, i won't mind shapening it quite often... i have never had a white knife so i was leaning in that direction...
KNIFE MAINTENANCE
Do you use a bamboo, wood, rubber, or synthetic cutting board? yeah
Do you sharpen your own knives? (Yes or no.) yeah
If not, are you interested in learning how to sharpen your knives? yeah
Are you interested in purchasing sharpening products for your knives? (Yes or no.) why not?
SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS
so... a deba. smallish, becuase 1 i dont0 like very long knifes and 2 i usually process small fish.
mostly for the fun of having a single bevel knife, a yana will probably follow.
i will be in amsterdam next week and i'm thinking of dropping by to karatsu to see what he have.
Hitohira Gorobei White #3 Deba 150mm Ho Wood Handle (D-Shape) | Karasu Japanese Knives this is what i'm eyeing... any feedback on the hitohira gorobei? would blue2 be better for 30€ more?
i'm open to suggestions, i won't mind buying second hand but i'm not seeing much on the forum.
i dont' care much for fit and finish, as long as the knife is good and there arent warps/lowspots, etc... i d' like to have a tool, not a project. i hope my budget is sufficent.
thanks.
