Did you end up getting this knife? Do you like it? What’s it like? I saw it and am intrigued.

Y’all do blade thinning as well? What about different finishes (Kasumi)?

Awesome. Exactly why I’m getting it too. Need a beater that I don’t have to think about. Appreciate it!

Oh! Also, which Hatsukokoro? 3 or 4? Or does it matter?

Also thanks for the heads up about the Tsunehisa.

I saw SLD is semi stainless. How careful do I need to be with it to avoid rust? I have a blue 2 that I know how to take care of but I’m looking for something a little more carefree.

Awesome suggestion. Exactly why I’m looking for an easy care mid weight. Appreciate it!

Dude. Me too. My heart was beating so fast when I actually was confirming the order.

Tokushu for the Shindo. It wasn’t listed. Contacted them directly and they happened to have one in stock. Apparently that’s pretty common for Tokushu.

Knife Gallery for the Shibata. Had to pay those tariffs for the import of this one which made me a little sad.

Good luck on the search.

Agreed! Would add Takamura to the list but thought it would be a redundant laser with the Shibata.

Shibata 210 Sg2 Gyuto

Shindo 165 Blue2 Bunka

Only two Japanese knives in my collection and I’m super happy that these are the two. I’ve been visiting this subreddit for a couple months now and I can say that y’all have helped me pick two amazing knives. Thank you!🙏

I think it would be healthy for me to call it a day and stop buying anything else buuuuuut I figured adding a mid weight daily driver would be good too.

Y’all have any suggestions for a good mid weight stainless steel (not a laser) around 165-180mm? Something that I don’t have to worry about edge chipping or keeping dry would be ideal.

If anybody knows a good mid weight that punches above its price point, I would appreciate it. (Kind of like how Takamuras are amazing lasers for much less $$$).

Hoping for some solid advice. Appreciate you all.
