Searching for cheap Gyutos, one well-hardened Moly - ideally something like AUS would be awesome, but when asking for cheap better not start fancying up on details - and one carbon.
Except for decently treated steel, I'd just rather they would not be the narrow heel kind - Misono would be my choice, if going there. 46 for 200-210, 48-50+ for longer. And as much as I appreciate Victorinox, I'd like harder SS and something different. Finally, Canada here, and trying to keep it there.
I'm even open to "real" cheap chinese from Amazon, if someone knows a guy who knows another guy who knows a thing or two about knives, tried some and find it satisfying enough. But I'll probably settle for "relatively" cheap J-knife or Victorinox if needed be.
I've tried the Lee Valley carbon, and I've ordered one Pallares Solsona.
Looking at these:

I know there ain't much options but feel like I'm forgetting something somewhere, and even if not available in Canada I'd look at different lower priced alternatives.
Just have at it if you will, I'm all ears.
