After using Nakiris for few months, I've decided that small one is a welcomed addition to my kitchen knives collection. Mincing garlic and shallots definitely calls for thin, smaller blade.

Well, after almost 3 months of daily use I've finished up first revision of the review. As usual it's a work in progress, since I'm using this Gyuto regularly.

My first Chinese cleaver, from Japanese maker :) Kuro uchi finish, but it's a beauty. Cuts like crazy after minor sharpening.

Kumagaro hammer finish Gyuto and Suminagashi Nakiri Hocho ordered. Kumagaro went straight for rehandling. Nakiri will be home soon. It's more stainless, so it'll be a beater for knife abuser folks around my kitchen. Watanabe Nakiri and Hontan Seiko Deba are going to be rehandled too.
