Hi,
I am a culinary student and I am looking to buy a new chefs knife and was wondering if I could get a recommendation. I currently own the Korin Inox gyutou which I am quite fond of, but it is too long for me (240mm) and I lose the edge on it quickly - but that may be due to how much I use it. I am looking to buy a 210mm knife, around the weight range of the Korin gyutou (if anything I would consider lighter knives), which is under $250 (preferably under $200). I realize it's silly - but I prefer knives with unique handles (anything other than the standard black), but that is not a necessity by any means.
Thanks!
