Thats my biggest issue. I was looking into Japanese Steel knives, but at 100 bucks a pop, thats kind of spendy
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.
