My wife want's a new primary kitchen knife for Christmas. Something that will hold an edge, is very sharp, and easy to maintain. I want something that won't kill our pocketbook.

Suggestions?

I researched this a few years ago and found some great knives. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JTYDWOO/

Bought two sets and very happy. Wanted quality, but not $300 per knife level quality.

Japanese knives are very sensitive to rusting too. I have 3 that are hand made in Japan but they require a lot of care and proper technique. Would not recommend for chefs knife.

Although if you could find a santoku style knife in the carbon-steel variety that would be best. Santoku is the Japanese version of a chefs knife. Same rockback and can be used for chopping as well.

From description - Commercial grade blades made of high-carbon, no stain steel.

And from what I remember, the metal extends all the way through the handle (full tang), which gives them extra strength and long life. Looking at reviews now, they are not full tang anymore. Bought mine 5 years ago.

Good company, find full tang version if you can.

I bought ceramic knives because i was tired of sharping her knives. They only got cutting anything else and you'll have ceramic pieces in your food

For the real thing, you're gonna have to shell out about 70-80 bucks for a chef's knife. But it will blow your mind how sharp it gets and how long it holds an edge.

PS: and don't call me a faggot, faggot. Leave that retarded shit on voat.

First dump your glass cutting boards and buy a wet stone, then follow the advice of PMYB2.

Also, Chinese kitchen knives (thin cleavers) are extremely safe, versatile and useful compared to the typical western style knife.

If you want a decoration there is no limit to what you can spend, but if you want a functional piece of sharpened steel it shouldn't be expensive at all, whatever style you prefer.
