    +1 for Hattori HD. Just be careful how you sharpen them. Professional chefs don’t necessary know best.

    I ordered most of my Japanese knives from JCK here.

    Very good service and orders arrived within 7 days.

    Price is good even after tax. (no tax incurred for me)

    Japanese Chefs Knife

    Hattori HD Series:

    HD-2 Petty 135mm US$103.00

    HD-7 Gyuto 210mm US$172.00

    or

    Same website

    Hiromoto Tenmi-Jyuraku Series (Gingami No.3): (rust proof)

    TJ-45G3 Petty 150mm US$72.00

    TJ-25G3 Gyuto 210mm US$124.00
    or
    TJ-20G3 Gyuto 240mm US$145.00

    Hiromoto Tenmi-Jyuraku Series (Aogami Super) is the best but then if you are not used to patina then just get the above.Hiromoto AS

    With your budget of £180 you will be able to cover for postage and have some spare change.

    Anyway have a look at their website.

    Ignore everyone else and listen to this^^ Just factor in some money for a shapening stone.
    I’ve bought Misono, Fuijiwara and Hiromoto from JCK, all much nicer to use than thick ‘Western’ knives.

    I think Anthony Worrall Thompson may have a set for sale soon. Or order the Nesbitts catalogue, that’s what I did when I was a chef.

    I don’t know much about knives but, that thing under your worktop that slides in and out? It’s called a drawer. *twitch* *twitch*

    Having rather fallen for the Ikea Damascus knife, I had a quick look at the Kin set; damn, but that’s good value, and nice looking knives, too. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. 😀

    The catalogue you need is actually Nisbets not Nesbitts . Your money but I can’t think why you would spend that much on knives it is simply not necessary .

    Bought three of this recently at TK Maxx because I just like the feel of a very wide nakiri … very cheap at less than £7 each as it’s made of cheapo stainless steel. The brand is Nirosta. It is not a bone smashing cleaver by the way.

    My next objective is to customise one … or two … by the Jap master or my blacksmith wannabe friend.

    Whatever you get, buy a proper whetstone (2 sided, one coarse one fine) and learn how to hand sharpen. I love to sharpen knives and do a lot of my neighbours and wifes friends knives. If you haven’t done this before I would suggest staying away from Japanese style knives with “one sided” edges, they a bit are more difficult to sharpen.

    If a knife is properly sharp it should be able to basically slip through a sheet of newspaper with absolutely minimal effort

    For all the negative comments about Global (and yes they are a bit light and yes they do break a bit easier than you’d like) they do take and hold an edge very well IME.

    Serious question, how do you manage to break a knife if you use it for what it’s meant for?

    I started looking at that Nisbet website, so many toys.

    Well, I’ve seen plenty of people smash up garlic by using the flat of a blade, but as far as I know, a Global doesn’t have a tang, the blade is welded to the handle, so that’s a primary weak point right there. So long as a knife has a good, solid tang then it should take most of the abuse dished out by a chef. I certainly wouldn’t trust my Global to take that sort of a hammering, not that I smash up garlic anyway!

    Its quite difficult. Which is why they usually get broken by accident eg. Drop on a hard floor, tip breaks off. Sitting in a sink to be washed, peice of cast iron cookware drops in, broken blade. Etc. just some are more accident proof than others

    have a whole set if henkels they are a pleasure to use and are a classic professional knife, globals falling out of favour due to reasons stated above they keep selling as they have great product placement in tv shows etc!

    You don’t leave a sharp knife ” sitting in a sink to be washed ” if you want to keep all your fingers . It’s a huge no no in a professional kitchen for the same reason except it will be the kitchen porters fingers not yours.

    And yet, despite this apparent law, people do….
