My step dad bakes loads of bread, I got him a Jono Knife which he absolutely loves. He's had it for a couple of years now and uses it most days.

Fabulous knifes, my only fear is I’d come home to find the MiL using it to cut doweling for a craft project.

Lovely, the video on the site has me sold. Nothing on their site about overseas shipping I can see. I'd imagine it would be a pain.

I made my own handle, but it is not as nice as this one.

That looks very cool but appears to be right handed only?

I’ve got a fiddle bow knife, similar to this…..wafer thin bread if required!

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!
