I like the extra pins you did at the front and back, but be careful getting them too close to the edge of the handle. Wood (even stabilized) can crack with temp/humidity changes, especially with pins close to the edge. I would center the pins more so the middle pins are in the middle of the tang he...

I'm just a home cook but I would love to try this knife.

I find that a 210mm petty to be the most efficient knife for slicing things like chicken breasts and smaller loins. For larger cuts of meat I pull out the bigger sujis.
Much prefer using long petties and sujis for slicing than gyutos.

Everything in the Watanabe Professional series is highly touted, you're not going to go wrong with that line.

It's made by Nordquistdesigns, check it out on instagram, you might change your mind on it's sturdiness.

Maybe Tim can make a few of these.... :shock: :D https://www.instagram.com/p/C59kCNhvjDw/ The link isnt showing anything for me, but I'm waiting on Taz to make some more also... Maybe this one.... https://www.instagram.com/p/C59kCNhvjDw/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=invalid&ig_rid=921a8...
