Watanabe kasumi 180mm nakiri

[Cool_charlie]

Just pick up the pro 180mm nakiri in a kasumi finish. After ready a couple of threads, I was under the impression that its supposed to be on the heavier side. Mine clocks in at 161 gm . Any ideas?

I guess you got a thinner one. Mine is 172x60 mm and weighs 190 g. I assume you have the standard chestnut handle?

 

[Cool_charlie]

Yes. Standard chestnut handle. Thanks

Mostly every thread refers to the KU

161 gramm sounds great to me. May I ask what are the blade dimensions?

180x57...

Yea I didn’t realize it would be that big of a difference though.

The grind might be very different too, did you just ask for a polished one?

 

[Cool_charlie]

No I just asked for a Kasumi finish

Big difference in the gyutos too.
