I'd like your input for the first knife in 2012 as I got refund from drnaka for a Shigefusa.
As I lost target at this point...I am unclear for what to do next.
Maybe the wisest thing to do is to buy wife a nice handbag but.....
I never had Suisin before but have knives from other well known makers (aritsugu, masamoto, mizuno, shigefusa, tadatsuna, nenohi, watanabe, konosuke). Basically, I'd like something sturdy enough to take all the beating (like to be able to whack it on the board without any damage to it. Thus, honyaki is out of the question here?) and something I can bring with me everywhere I go and enjoy using it.
What I prefer is a yanagi; two knives that came up in mind are a hayate (I never had a doi) or a densho.
So, what would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
