I'll be visiting Japan in September and want to bring myself at least one kitchen knife (santoku/bunka/gyuto and maybe a nakiri, in the range of 250€) from a traditional knife maker. Did any of you do something similar and can give me a few tips? I'm very uneducated (in this topic, but also in general) right now, so I'd be happy for any info regarding where, who, what, etc. Thanks!
