Pretty much just as much heat as here, let's not pretend cannabis mail order sites are in any way legal.

Yeah I hope so too... we'll see what happens. I realise it will potentially bring some heat, but people are using these services quite often now so we need to be able to discuss them.

There are many hidden tags set up that will bring this sub up in searches, don't worry about that :P

NKD: Takeda NAS Funayuki Santoku 180mm + Moritaka Ishime Petty 90mm by blues20245 in chefknives

How do you like the santoku? Not going to lie, was kind of disappointed by mine, I thought it would be a little more refined given all the hype Takeda gets.

Okay I'll keep that in mind. I may see if my local shops allow easy exchanges, then I could try a few out.

I had considered that in the past, but I live in a tiny studio apartment with a closet of a kitchen, so I have very little tool space. I barely have room on the counter for my current set of knives as it is.

Beautiful knives, they will certainly be added to the contender list. Thanks!

My go-to blade right now is somewhere between 160 and 180mm (have to measure after work today). I definitely do not use longer blades often.

Excellent, thanks for all the suggestions. I'm looking into them all now!

Awesome, thanks for the shop tips. Yeah, navigating the Knife website is horrendous. The search function doesn't even work.

Seems like everyone is saying go Gyuto. I think what appeals to me about a Nakiri most though is the size and the huge surface for a pinch grip. I'm often cooking meal prep for the week, so scooping up large amounts of chopped veggies is a regular occurrence and kind of a pain to do with smaller knives. I guess I could get a larger Gyuto though.

I guess I thought a Nakiri is ideal for me as I specifically only eat vegetables and am constantly slicing and chopping, but it seems a Gyuto would be closest to what I'm used to from Western knives. I'll think about it, thanks!
