Looking for a good Nakiri.

Hi Mark,

Looking for a Nikiri knife. These look good to me. I want something that looks really nice. I don't own a Nikiri. I do own two Santuko, one Gyuto, and a Bunka. They were all in the $350-500 range. Thanks Any other rec would be great as well.

Ok this one is a nakiri, under your budget, that has nice fit and finish and a good quality handle. If I had to pick one I would choose the Kurosaki Senko.
