I don't plan on sharpening myself ,but I appreciate the help.

I have a Lansky sharpening kit that works for me.

A friend of my youngest son graduated from Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte with a degree in Culinary Arts and I got her this set https://shun.kaiusaltd.com/knives/knife/sora-2-pc-starter-set1 that brought her to tears so it must be okay.

The Gekko is the series I have and I enjoy it. I don't have any experience with the Shun, but they have an incredible reputation and I've never read anything bad about them, EVER.

2 outstanding choices IMO!

I also want to mention that the Gekko series is one of their most popular, if it's ever out of stock, they usually get more in fairly quickly.

I'm going the complete opposite of what you are looking for. If you are looking for a working knife in the kitchen, then it is hard to beat the Old Hickory knives. Carbon steel, made in the USA and they just work! For pennies compared to the other whiz bang knives. I have a sentimental attachment to them because my granddad used them for as far back as I can remember.

I might need to add that cleaver to the stable! For those jobs where getting medieval takes precedence over finesse...

Check out Bloodrootblades.com
They hand forge these blades 3 miles from my house and sell 'em all over the world.
They are pricey, and there's a wait......but they are awesome!

Even if you don't get one of theirs, the pics are drool worthy.
They also make work knives, huntin' knives, tomahawks, and swords!

Anyone have any suggestions on a nice Kitchen Knife. Preferably something hand crafted and not mass-produced

There are three choices now. I am really digging the custom one from IG though
