What does everyone have en route to them?
I've become fascinated with the idea of using a nakiri. I thin they look awesome, and I think, based on my cutting preferences that I'll like this knife style but I'm not entirely sure and not yet convinced enough to drop any decent coin on one. So, I ordered a Dexter Russell vegetable cleaver (2" tall) as a test platform. I absolutely accept steel, geometry, etc. influences with such an inexpensive knife but I just really wanted to give that very flat edge a try. I've never really liked the bulk of santoku's I've tried and their shapes vary so widely. But this so-called vegetable cleaver offering is very close to the higher-end nakiri that I'm eye-balling so I'm excited to try it.
At $30 if I don't like it, no big deal. And I have two daughters who would love a free knife regardless of style. And if I do like it, then I buy what I want and I have two daughters who would love a free knife. Or, maybe I just freaking love the knife and keep it.
Then I've also got a jug of honing oil coming and a new stone holder.
So what do you have on the way?
