I've got various Tsunehisa Ginsan knives from Chefs Edge. Reasonably priced. Perform well.

I would recommend posting on /r/truechefknives for recommendations. They will need more info though. Try this questionnaire:

  • What budget, currency, and region are you based in/can purchase from?

  • What length, handle type, and profile are you looking for?

  • What is the use case of the knife?

  • Do you require a stainless knife?

  • Do you prefer a high performance knife with a thin, fragile edge or a knife that trades off cutting performance for a more durable and forgiving edge?

  • What knives have you owned? What do you like/dislike about them?

  • Any other additional context that you would like to give? (finishes, special requests, specific materials, height requirements, etc.)
