I've bought a couple from Kataba in Covent Garden, really nice shop & I've spent a considerable amount of time in there feeling all the knives up.
I bought a Santoku first then got a petty & a Gyuto but really I think I could do 95% of my cutting with just the Santoku.

I’ll try and get there to check them out. Spending one day in the big smoke tomorrow, lived up there for almost 20 years before moving back down to Devon so visits are few and far between. If I can take in a shop or two I’ll be like a kid in a candy shop.
If you don’t mind me asking, which make of knives did you get?
*boysetsfire*
After lusting for I don’t know how long my wife has given me the go ahead to get some Japanese kitchen knives. I’ve got a budget of about up to £120 per knife which I know is not much in the grand scheme of these type of things but hopefully it’s a start.
Can any of the aficionados on here offer up any good suggestions. Probably will settle on a Santoku (mini or full size), Nakiri and a Petty knife. Also are there any shops around central London people recommend I can go into to get a good feel.
