Hi All,
Thank you in advance for your input. 2 quick questions...
1. I do mostly Push-Cut so, what is the better blade for me, the Santoku or the Bunka? My wife will also use the knife but her cutting style is mixed between push-cut and rocker...
2. I am considering either...
Moritaka Hamono Santoku 170 Aogami Super at around $160
-- or --
Masakage Koishi Bunka 170 at $275.
Both are Aogami Super, is the $275 Masakage so much better that I must have it?
I cannot find a Moritaka Bunka....
I don't care too much about handle type. I do like light and nimble knives and the offset between handle and blade as I prefer the pinch grip... but my wife holds the handle when cutting... not easy...
I don't take care of my knives as I should so very often the tip is bent and sometimes I get lazy and just use a sharpening stick from Zwilling rather than my 1k/6k honing stone from Shun. I was really stoked to get the stone, its quite romantic actually to use the honing stone... but busy days....
Maybe I should go with the Moritaka Santoku 170 and save the $115?
Thanks!!
