Some knife buying advice please; I'm after a nice, do-most-things kitchen knife. Japanese style with traditional shape handle (rather than Western style). Judging from the knives I currently use I'd say the Santoku most closely resembles the shape I prefer & use the most. Not fussed about Damascus or hammered finishes though I don't mind them either. I just know nothing about the names of the brands & the metals they're made from are pretty meaningless to me.
One knife between the 100-200 pound mark would be good (if there's potential to buy other shapes in the same wood/finish that would be a plus), I quite like the look of the below but don't know if it's any good or over priced or anything - any thoughts?
Or any good standard brands/shops in London worth going to?
