Best praise vs top criticism for Watanabe Pro Nakiri 180mm
“Yoshikane skd 165 bunka, I use it at work and it’s phenomenal, great edge retention, great grind, solid feel.. I use this knife for mainly finesse, not that it can’t handle most things. The knofe which never leaves my board is a Watanabe 180 gyuto, it’s pretty basic finish wise, but the steel and grind are fantastic, great workhorse knife”
