What knife do you like the best?

[Borealhiker]

My Watanabe 210. I just reflexively reach for it every time because the weight, the edge it takes, cuts effortlessly, it’s just comfortable and fun to use. Always gotta tell myself …wait… use the Anryu, use the Yuki etc…. other knives. However, I just got my first Nakiri. A Kurosaki Senko. And it turns out I love using Nakiris. I was cutting away with it, loving it. The push/pull style. The taps. Lol, out loud I said I gotta get another one. So I did. A Takeda large. So we’ll see. Probably still be the Watanabe, it’s more robust and versatile.

Right now I'm using the crap out of my el cheapo 240mm Minonokuni yanagi. I really shouldn't use it for a bunch of stuff I'm using it for...but it's just too much fun to slash ALL THE THINGS!
