Any lefties out there wanna chime in on Watanabe (/toyama)?
Was thinking about getting a new 270 for work. The only 270 I have now is a kurosaki AS. If I could get what I want it'd be a munetoshi but Maksim told me that smith doesn't make blades over 240
Considering giving watanabe/toyama a shot again. I sold em both a while ago but the toyama outperformed the watanabe but I think that was more luck o the draw. Both were slightly righty-bias (even though shinichi told me he picked a lefty-bias/neutral one for me :/ ). This is why I'm on the fence, I think they were both great knives but just average-good for a lefty. My righty friends thought the food release was excellent.
Also open to other suggestions because a wat/toy 270 would be a lot of blade to keep dry/clean at work.
Maybe a wakui? I have the 240 and it is righty bias but still a helluva performer, just hate that f%^%$ing handle and still haven't made a new one for it :/ (anyone have a 270 they wanna trade for a 240?? I can throw in cash/knives/stones!)
