Nakiri as a Gift
I'm looking to get a nakiri for my wife as a gift. She's left handed and has small hands so she prefers small knives. I'm thinking about something in the 155mm range, which I know is on the shorter side, but that's what she prefers. Either western or wa handles are fine as long as it's not too bulky or designed for a right hand. I would lean towards stainless steel over carbon for ease of maintenance, but could go the other way for the right knife. I have to a set of whetstones which I have been learning with on my cheaper knives.
She currently uses a wustof classic ikon 6 inch chef knife that she uses for pretty much everything and she likes that that a lot, but she has mentioned missing this old cheap small nakiri that she used to have but was lost one time when she moved.
