Lifetime Japanese knife recommendation?
Author Summary
Imphii is in Japan
Post Body

Hi knifes lovers, I've allways been a huge knife fan and japanese knife especially. I've been last year in japan and i've finally bought my first pair of japanese knife in kappabashi. Good knifes, a santoku A10 and a petty vg10. I've fallen in love and i'm now thinking to buy a piece that will last me for a lifetime.

  • Thinking about a Kiritsuke or a Gyuto (210mm, i don't like long knifes)
  • Not a fan of carbon steel...maybe i could consider blue, which is a bit more rust resistent
  • Not a huge fan of frequent sharpening (i was looking at some HAP40 steel knife from Sukenari)
  • I'm in Europe so i need a store that can deliver here
  • Budget up to 5/600€
  • Don't need it now and i'm ok with wait times and restocks

Now i need your experience and culture to help me.

hap 40 is somewhat rust resistant but it's still considered only semi stainless.

if you want a high edge retention stainless steel you could consider sg2.

you could consider the shibata https://www.cleancut.eu/butik/knifetype/gyuto/shibata_gyuto-detail

this one is sold out, but you could order directly from the maker in japan if you get impatient.

https://www.meesterslijpers.nl/en/nakagawa-satoshi-silver3-kiritsuke-210?module_id=448&price=0-6200&search=sg2&category_id=199&sort=p.price&order=DESC&page=2&limit=100 this is another option.

also if you can find a k tip myojin riki that's nice, or a tanaka.
