Whatever it is, it looks terrific! I have a handle which could be a good fit if you don’t want to keep it…
Pakimascus! Last offer!

As mentioned in a previous post... It's Japanese... Hint... It's a coreless
Hmmm.....Manaka? (I'd say Shiraki but I'm pretty sure he's retired now)

Strike 3...lol
It's nice whatever it is. Low-ish layer count, differentially hardened...
Mitsubishi Lancer?
So ive seen 'coreless' before in the knife description but what does that exactly mean? There is no core steel? like how you have some knives with a core steel of white#2 with an iron jacket.
Correct. Damascus is normally assumed to be damascus cladding over a core, unless it's specifically referred to as coreless.
And here it is in all its pride and glory:
It is my 13th Watanabe. I have sold 1, gifted 1, and I have now 11 in my collection:
This pic helped motivate me to ping Shinichi about a Pro 180 gyuto to go with my nakiri.

District has some nice knives on their website. If only they would run a seasonal promotion or sale like their competitors.
Oh yes, I splurged a bit. But there was a piece of my tax refund asking to be spent. Interestingly enough, DC had the best price I've come across for the 240mm Karin. Go figure

..lucky me...got some candy today...
A beautiful 175mm petty disappeared from his website in minutes today.
Was actually going to include that with my post and tell everyone to go grab it. By the time I was ready to post it was already gone!

Wondering how you are finding the Matsubara Suji - I'm imagining it to be pretty thin? Any degree of flex or rigid? Many thanks.
Well I’ve only used it once. To slice some Easter ham. Got some nice thin slices and was able to shave some too. But with a little more effort than I expected. Needs to be touched up. It’s my first and only Suji. Always just used a gyuto to slice. So I don’t really have a good grasp of Suji performance. Very stiff blade. Seems really thin bte but really thickens up. I’ll try to get some choil shots etc… Friday for you. Got it bc I love nashiji finishes and wanted to try a new maker. The nashiji is really well done as is the F&F. Cheers.
oh so cool.And here it is in all its pride and glory:

Have you noticed the 3rd from top choil?

Yes, I have. It is a modified 225 that I had the chance to purchase a while ago. It has been modified by German maker suntravel/Uwe, he has also made the bog oak handle.

Difficult question. It would be one of the 3 bigger KU gyutos. 240 with Stefan Keller handle, 225 modified by Uwe, or the 210 with @RDalman handle which was my first Watanabe…
What's your favourite man?
Got this baddie in the mail yesterday 
Believe it or not, it is a honyaki in W2 steel by James Oatley. Crazy crazy thin, edge flexes at barely just the thought. Beat up on it last night after putting on a microbevel… no chips!
