I've got a $300 budget to try and get a good japanese made gyoto knife. I'd like to get a traditional look to it but just like anything it's a huge rabbit hole....

anyone have any good recs on brands, steel type, etc.?

I bought a Toyama Noborikoi Kasumi 150mm petty. Not sure of price, though. I do love the knife.

This is my jam. I have 3 damascus blade knives made by Mr. Itou. It took me 3 to 4 years to assemble that "set" as they all have the same wood handles.

Google Japanese Kitchen knives. The site will come up. Haven't checked it in over a year. Will send a photo after the holidays.

Here's what I have. https://www.korin.com/HMI-SCGY-210?quantity=1&custcol_korin_addon_items=%257B%2522leftHanded%2522%253A%2522%2522%252C%2522saya%2522%253A%2522%2522%252C%2522freegift%2522%253A%2522%2522%252C%2522premiumgift%2522%253A%2522%2522%252C%2522engraving%2522%253A%2522%2522%257D&custcol_sca_line_id=mainItem%253Al97upwvfv

It's a fantastic knife that won't break the budget, and it has developed a very pretty patina. The one catch is that the edge is beveled, so if you sharpen it on your own, you have to be careful that you don't grind the bevel out of it. I send mine to Korin every year to be sharpened.

I have knives with ironwood handles.

I also have a carbon steel knife from another knife maker. It keeps a sharper edge than alloys, but requires constant oiling. It also patinas, but thats normal.

These are what I use. I think I need to leave this thread before I drop $300+ on one of the beautiful knives linked.

Purchased a knife at that location in the last 6 months. Great store.
