Hi everyone,
Does anyone know about the availability of Tanaka ginsan nakiris or santokus? I see that metalmaster used to carry them, but they are no longer made. Do any other lesser known vendors have old stock? I'd really like to get my hands on one, I'm just not sure if it's possible at this point.
If not, I'm curious how his treatment of vg-10 compares to the ginsan. I have a 240 ginsan gyuto that I love, and would like to add a smaller knife to the arsenal for those around me that don't like large knives. If the vg-10 is comparable, is metalmaster my only option? I'd prefer Nashiji finish and stainless steel is a must. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
