so ive been working in a professional setting for about 5 years now and have been a knife nerd for about 3 of those years but ive recently downsized my knife kit from 9 knives to 3. There were many reasons to do so, one i was moving around a lot so in terms of travel it made me much lighter and two i just didnt feel like i NEEDED them not to say they wernt useful but there was a lot of over lap in what they were used for. One of the first knives i sold off was my nakiri and if im being super honestly i really enjoyed using my nakiri but for any job my nakiri could do my 240mm gyuto could also do and at work its just not as practical to have several knives on my board constantly switching between tasks when i can use my gyuto for most of my work. Not trying to bash anyone who uses a nakiri bc if we are being honest the main reason im posting this is to maybe give myself an excuse to buy another one but id just like to hear from other people who cook for a living why and how much use their nakiri gets.
