Any guidance would be appreciated

You should go to chefsknivestogo.com a check out their selection. I have a shun elite santoku that I love but my favorite is a Moritaka Gyoto I got from there. Japanese carbon steel is the shite.

I have a couple of Globals I like. Light and not expensive.

Great site. As for Nakris I'm hoping to get this one for Christmas. (hint-hint)

The Dojo preforms very well thanks to its outstanding steel and high quality geometry. The Dojo ranks among the best bargains Chef Knives to Go has to. The Dojo is perfect for anyone wanting to try Aogami Super, carbon steels more general, or anybody who is looking for high quality at a low cost.

Only way to know is to go try them out.

I have multiple Shun knives that I love, but I haven't tried them next to any of these other brands.

I am sure they are good knives but they are just so damn ugly to me.

I have the Wustoff and like it, made my own Wustoff combo set and included it.

This...
Don’t buy that factory made stuff when you can get one literally handmade from this site. I’m about to buy me a new 240 gyuto from there. I have a Tanaka right now that’s a fricking razor blade. It’s high carbon though and I have to be mindful when using it.
I recommend getting on the forum on the site. There is a format they recommend you follow with questions to be answered and you will get responses from very experienced people with recommendations including the owner of the site.

Well I’m not buying them to lay askew across my Boos board with a hunk of meat and post on Instagram.
And I have a big gash in my index finger right now to prove they are sharp.

But here is a great $17 knife I bought awhile back at Ducote’s. I use it a lot.

Oh I'm sure they are fine knives. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
Posted on 12/3/17 at 12:48 pm to Rouge
I have a yoshihiro gyuto that I really like. It looks as awesome as it cuts.
I want to send it to get sharpened but I'm scared the finish will get rubbed off.

I love my Globals. Knives are very individual. You have to see what feels good in your hand
Posted on 12/3/17 at 11:43 pm to Rouge
You have to feel them. I'll bet the global is light. I'll bet the wusthof is heavy. The handles are distinctly different and I'll bet they're all balanced differently. How do you grip? How big is your hand?
Do you like heavy or light knives? Are you a chopper or a rocker? Will this knife be used 5 minutes at a time or 5 hours at a time?
I have always liked the look of the shun knives but never held any of them.

the more i look at this stuff, the more confusing it gets.

To me, knives are like shoes; you can't just order from a catalog, you have to try them on. How many of these are available to handle in a store?
