Hey folks, I almost found the perfect knife, but my partner is new to knife care so I want to get her something stainless. She's a badass, and likes dark things (read "goth") so I'm trying to get her something that would match that style. This Kochi from JKI is perfect looks-wise, but not stainless core, probably too thin for her skills, and also out of stock. Anyone know of something similar?
