Which knife?

I'm thinking I need a gyutou, some sort of yanagi (not so much for my own use but to have) a paring knife, a peeling/tourne knife, and then I don't know what else.

Nenox has quite a bit more boutique cache than Misono. I got one a while ago and Matt got a Corian handled one a while later.

All you need is a chefs and a pairing knife. Spend the rest of the time learning how to use them.

Take a look at the Konosuke HD series. Semi-stainless and seems to be getting universally good reviews. Apparently takes a very good edge on stones as well.

And steer clear from Misono now. Great knives, but they recently gave their line a massive price hike (50-100% in a lot of cases). Dollar-for-dollar, there are now a fair number of better options.

She's been awesome 100% of the time to me. Then again, so have you, except for my first interaction with MacLovin'.

Like nothing else in the world.

For the prices that the factory knives in the previous posts seem to be commanding, you could get a beautiful custom knife.
