Just looking to add or replace my small Wusthof chefs knife with something better. We use it mainly for chopping fruit and veg and plan on buying some stones to keep them sharp myself. Iv'e got a large Wusthof I use for larger items like pineapple and large heads of lettuce, so really just need to replace the smaller Wusthof which we use the vast majority of the time.
I am within driving distance of toshoknifearts so maybe something I can purchase there may help, or I can order from knifewear.com (saves some import duties), but not essencial.
