I have purchased a few knives from Watanabe in the past year 2 each 180mm Pro Nakiri's and one 180mm KU Gyuto. Now I have been thinking about buying a 240 or larger Gyuto from him but reading on here about various preferences for iron clad vs stainless clad, KU finish vs polished finish, and then there is the issue of blue steel vs white #2 or #3 steels being offered.
I'm wondering if there is some old inventory being sold out and that new production is being limited to certain types?
Is there a grind difference between the iron clad vs stainless clad?
Is Shin still producing Blue steel knives?
Are his current offerings different from past production?
I keep thinking that I'd like the 240 Gyuto in Blue/Stainless clad OR I'm not sure so I'm asking these questions before I buy anything else and hoping that some folks on here have a bit more knowledge about his products than I do.
