"A beautifully produced book... Over the past decade, London publisher Phaidon has published a series of monographs on the most influential and revolutionary international chefs of the new century, such as Spain's Ferran Adrià of elBulli, René Redzepi of Noma in Denmark, and Virgilio Martínez of Central in Peru, as well as the environments in which they create. Now Hunter and Brae have joined that company." — Afr.com (Australian Financial Review)

If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
