I'm curious what people come up with. I know availability is an issue for some knives and inflation / supply / demand....
If you're vegetarian, I understand your kitchen knife needs are different than a person who eats a lot of fish or meat and may not need a cleaver.... or a yanagi
@nakiriknaifuwaifu for an example uses a watanabe pro gyuto as a vegetarian and not a nakiri..., or anything else
General guideline :
1 Carbon Gyuto
1 Stainless Gyuto
1 Nakiri
1 Cleaver
1 Paring knife
1 Yanagi
Current new knives you can buy following the guidelines I set out example not including shipping.
Mutsumi Hinoura 210mm Gyuto $285
Shibata R2 Battleship 195mm Gyuto $245
TF Maraboshi nakiri 165mm 27500 yen $(237 ish)
Arcos Cleaver 180mm $65
Misono paring knife $57
Tojiro w2 Yanagi $63
Total : 952
This is my personal kitchen knife set I currently use on a regular basis. I included the date I bought the knife and the price just for reference as you may have gotten a kato or shig or some unicorn for cheap back in the day.
My current collection that I use:
Zwilling Kramer Carbon 1.0, 210mm $160 used 2022
Shig Ku Nakiri 165mm $285 new 2021
Shiro Kamo SG2 Bunka 170mm $180 used 2022
Shun Paring knife $40 used 2021
Zwilling Cleaver 150mm $75 new 2019
Random carbon Japanese Yanagi 210mm $? new 2018 when I went to japan
Yoshikane family name Garasuki 180mm $? new 2018 when I went to japan
