Looks very nice. I guess you'll figure out whether carbon steel maintenance is something you are quite happy with!

Pretty good for demolishing baguettes.

So, I think I'm going to go for this set of two below, looks like a great price and a way to dip your toe into the world of Japanese knives without going crazy. If she doesn't get on with them I'll get something more utilitarian.
It's funny, we're both big into cooking but have never invested in decent knives, been gifted a couple (my mother in law is a big tuperware pusher) but it's just one of those purchases we said we'd do but never got round to it.
Anyway, she's been asking to get some decent knives for a while now and we'll (hopefully) be get our new place with brand new kitchen just after her birthday, so perfect time really.
Still need a bread knife though, Mrs is French and we live in France so it's a knife that gets a hammering!
