Just received my 2 knives from Watanabe ... wow, that was FAST! I am always looking for unique shapes to add to my small collection. Not there yet to buy the 29th different 240 mm Gyuto ... but I am sure I will at one point LOL. Bought a slicer (jungle shape off of the specials section) and a Mukimono Petty ... both rather uncommon shapes IMHO, so I went for those. First inspection: The finish on the Slicer is pretty rough, almost looks like the Kurouchi finish has chipped off in one place, and it looks like there might be a bit of a (rather good looking) blueish Patina right below the Kurouchi on one side.... Nothing major, I like the rustic look and it has a burnt chestnut handle as well.
