Looking for a Japanese knife as a gift for a friends wedding. Around £100, western handle, probably Santoku or small Gyuto. Something around 180mm. Currently split between Niwaki: https://www.niwaki.com/youshiki-sld-stainless-knife/#P00557-1 Or Tsunehisa Santoku: https://cuttingedgeknives.co.uk/collections/santoku-knives/products/tsunehisa-aus8-santoku
Any strong opinions or reccommendations?
I’d go for the Niwaki. Better steel. I’ve bought knives for my friends as gifts. Whenever I visit I am required to sharpen them.
His wife to be has worked as a chef so I have at least some hope it will be treated well.
