SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS
The knife must be hand-crafted and indicated who made it. I do not buy knives for which it's written "Handmade" or "Talented Master" without a name given.
The steel must be indicated. " High carbon steel", or "Pure carbon steel" or "Swedish carbon steel" knives I don't buy.
Hardness must be indicated.
European, Japanese or North American Stores ..
Laminate only, Damascus no.
50/50
 
Get mazaki, even if you dont like it. Its easy to sell on bst.
 
You list three awesome options. Carbon Knife sells a gorgeous yoshikane in White 2 that might be a fun change of pace. Something that’s very different from a Watanabe. Profile would be quite different as well.
