I'm looking for suggestions on a carbon kitchen knife. Nothing fancy just something half decent to try it out. Second hand would be ok too.
After my experience with straight razors, I've lost my fear of carbon steel. I'd like to see if I'm able to put a better edge on a high carbon knife. I also suspect that these knives will respond better to my natural knife finishers. The trouble is that everything in the shops seems to be stainless these days. Western style is prefered but I'm happy to try a Japanese style if someone can explain how to hone the asymmetrical edge.
