Hello! I’m currently looking at buying my first “nicer” Japanese knife and upgrading to this Shigeki Tanaka Nakiri. I have experience with shun and Miyabi knives and I’ve gotten good at sharpening, etc. With a whetstone. I don’t have the patience to go down the crazy rabbit hole of Japanese knives and I’ve tried so many times but keep getting turned around at every corner. I would much rather someone tell me what to buy at this point. I’m looking for a nice Nakiri from a reputable maker, preferably something handforged or at least hand finished. It has been hard finding anything in stock, but take a look and let me know what you think.
Tldr; what do you guys think of this knife and if you think it’s shit what should I buy, money doesn’t really matter all that much.
All help is appreciated!
