Nishida Gyuto Kitchen Knife 240mm
This was a gift although the recipients are in constant with me and cannot speak more highly of this knife's look and performance. It exceeded their expectations by far and and has almost immediately become the go to prep tool of the kitchen. Its size was daunting at first but has proven to be much more versatile than imagined with a little practice. Fabulous balance is the key to success. Did I mention that is beautifully simple visually also.
