Mutsumi Hinoura KU Tsuchime White 2 Santoku 165 mm 

This is a really sweet knife that speaks to me. The hammered blacksmith finish helps with food release, an wonderful distal taper paired with one of my favorite steels - Shirogami 2 reaches for my heart. All this with an affordable price that can’t be beaten.
