The knife thread is dead/about shanking mandem so I'll ask in here
I've been hankering after a sweet kitchen knife for a few years, and with a lack of anything better to ask my girlfriend for this xmas, I decided this year is the year. I've been looking at Japanese steel, specifically entertaining the idea of the HD-3 5.9" Gyuto from Hattori, but then £100+ seems a lot for someone who is merely an amateur chef.
I've always made do with shit £5 knives from Ikea and the like, but my mum recently spent about £25 of Tesco vouchers on a knife from their new homeware range and I was impressed enough when I used it to start seriously considering buying a proper one. I could just buy the same knife she has but then that wouldn't be the LFGSS way.
Pretty much the same conversation in the last few pages of the knife porn thread. A few people recommended Victorinox kitchen knives as a good value, good quality option. Around the £25 price range.
