Help Finding a Gyuto for Under a Hundred

For a gift, Needs to be around or under a hundred bucks, stainless steel and 180 in size or smaller

anyone know if there is such a knife in existence

I found a Tojiro on CKTG but they wont ship it to canada

 

Fujiwara FKD has a decent reputation for being decent entry knife.

Check out Bluewayjapan on ebay. He has tons of stuff!

 

I looked there had a few choice that may work

 

Jon at JKI has a Gesshin stainless for $105. I'm in the same boat having just purchased one as a gift. Great knife and great customer service.

I've gifted a few Suisin Western Inox. Mom, sister, 2 gf and I usually have one on my rack. It's available in 180mm, a good looking knife, performs well, under $100. (Don't know about shipping to Canada) Korin stocks them, JKI can get them.

 

thanks guys

Stainless clad, carbon core. Very recent, no own experience yet.

i can not do carbon for this person lol... she would kill it quickly.

 

My standard gift for knives is a Suisin INOX Western from JKI. Out of stock right now from him, but I'd call him. My non expert opinion is it is the best bang for the buck for a gift.
