LOCATION
Florida USA
KNIFE TYPE
I am looking for a traditional style gyuto for a right handed person, with a Japanese handle.
~8 inches in length.
$150 would be the maximum budget.
KNIFE USE
The knife would be used at home, somewhat frequently.
Slicing, chopping, mincing vegetables, slicing boneless raw meats. Possibly slicing cheese.
Aesthetics are important as it's a gift. No particular finish or pattern, wood, etc.
Ease of use and comfort are not as important as no matter what knife is chosen, it will be an upgrade from what he currently uses.
Edge retention is important, but below aesthetics. I would like him to notice that this knife stays sharp.
KNIFE MAINTENANCE
I believe it will be used against a wood cutting board or possible synthetic. Also as it is a gift I am not sure who will be sharpening the blade.
SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS
This is a gift for the guy who MCed our wedding and he did a great job. I'd like to find something that doesn't take too long to be delivered. I tried to find something but there are too many options for me to choose without proper advice.
Thanks!
