Hi KKF Fam,
I'm finding that I like shorter nakiri's and longer petty's so putting these two solid performers up for sale. Pricing is shipped in CONUS.
EDIT: Wat Sold
Watanabe Pro 180mm Nakiri - $260 (SOLD)
I purchased direct from Shinichi last year and it came a bit wedgy out the box with a few pronounced low spots. I thinned it, primarily working behind the edge and easing the shoulders with an eye towards convexity on the outside edge. It came out as a much better cutter with less wedging and most of the low spots taken care of. Food release went down a little bit with thinning but is still pretty good given how well it cuts.
For the finish, I'm no polisher, but took it up to a 6k on a gesshin resinoid but there are some spots a more inclined person could clean up easily. There's some light scratches on the left side too that I tried to capture in the video. One final note is that the choil shot is a bit deceiving as the first few mm near the heel on the right side got pushed up higher while thinning due to some high/low spots. The shinogi is a bit lower and more pronounced through the rest of the blade than what is seen in the choil photo.
I bought it with the upgraded ho wood d handle.
Specs:
181x59
201g
Yoshikane SKD 150mm Petty -$160 $150
Another knife that doesn't need much of an introduction. Purchased from Epic Edge a few months back and used a couple of times to cut fruit for my daughter. Touched up once on an Aizu shortly after receiving it.
Specs:
152x32
73g
Thanks!
