  • How militant/geeky will she be in terms of care?

    At the moment with current knives, not very, but it's one of those things she would do for something worth it.

    Size? it's personal preference and you already have an answer, don't ignore it because of what Internet marketing says

    I'm pretty much with this anyway , plus makes it a bit cheaper (bonus), just put the question out there to see if there's any other reason to go 20/21cm over 18 that I hadn't considered.

    Aesthetics? what sort of look would she like

    Definitely Japanese over utilitarian.

  • she would do for something worth it.

    Not saying I know here better than you, but this is less true than you want to believe.

    I don't have a ready suggestion, hopefully others will. But at least you're now looking for:

    1. Stainless
    2. 18cm max
    3. Japanese aesthetic

    Not to reignite an old debate, but at that price you will get a nice knife so go with what you think she'll love rather than obsessing about features.
