Fellow forumites, I'm in need of your knowledge and experience.
No questionnaire here because this is not for what I'm looking for (sort of), It's more about what's perfect for you and WHY? I would like to hear which knives blow you away every time, the one that if you would get the chance to do it all over again you would get it in a heartbeat, the one that if you lost it you would get it again. You know which one I'm talking about. right?
This is a bit premature as I'm looking for any ideas for a knife I'll be getting next month so I'll have a chance to weigh all the options properly. The thing is my personal hit list is getting too short. I have two or three knives I still would like to get and I want to save them for later and I would like to find something fun and out of my comfort zone. Almost anything goes!
I don't want my personal preferences have any effect here. If it's something you like, but others may not, that's interesting to me. If it's something that's often recommended that's great too. The only request I have is that let's leave out the usual suspects like Takamura, Tanaka, Gesshin Ginga, -stainless, -Kagero, Itinomonn, Akifusa, etc.
I have some of them already. Plus just recently I got the Takamura R2 and Itinomonn stainLess is en route. (...finally! wuhuu! :bliss They're all great, but I'm looking for something from the left field maybe? ...Or maybe not? remains to be seen?
I appreciate any and all input from you guys and can't wait? :knife:
