Recommendation? Good Chef's Knife to Pick Up on Black Friday

[Ready_AF]

I'm looking for a sub-$300 (ideally sub-$200) ~8" chefs knife / gyuto / santoku to pick up on Black Friday.

Any recommendations on specific brands or features I should look for to make sure I pick up a high quality knife?

E.g. VG-10 steel. Anything else?

Recommendations appreciated.

LOL , I don’t mean to be rude but you’ll most likely need that knife to go shopping on Black Friday, pushed, Shoved, beaten and yes! Stabbed competing with the nuts & wackos on B Friday . Look on Amazon & have a Tahamagane chef knife shipped to your home.. Excellent knifes for reasonable $$$..

Check out what Cutlery and more has going on.

If you have good sharpening gear I'd suggest this. Made of ZDP-189 and takes an insane edge but takes 5-10 times as long as a typical German knife. A chef has some of these and while they are a bear to resharpen but last him months. Unless you have SiC or Diamond stones look elsewhere.

+1 for cutlery and more. I bought and Enso HD in VG10 this year and have been really happy with it. It’s on sale too (for cheaper than I bought it):

Thanks! At the current price it was a no brainer - purchase made.

Update: Knife arrived. Fantastic quality at a great price. Thanks again!
