    The best steel, edge, sublimeness & authenticity is what you are looking for... aka. Nihonto tamahagane steel & edge is what you are looking for... its not as simple as saying "Japanese" knives, they are not all tamahagane & very rarely do they come from legendary master smith (epicly expensive though, you get what you pay for, think of a mini lightsaber). Well.. you asked for "the best"... :)




    PS: Yes, same method of Katana transmission, you will be basically having a kitchen tanto....

    Japanese or German made are usually good. Buy a whetstone, learn how to use it.

    If you want an art piece, maybe. But traditional tamahagane isn't even all that good compared to high-end modern steels. Swordmakers use it because it's traditional, not because it's the best. D2, L6, and other modern tool steels are generally superior for functional blades, although harder to use traditional methods on.
    And the the knife in your post doesn't even look like a traditionally made japanese knife. It looks more like a modern style pattern weld(aka "Damascus", although real Damascus steel is another thing entirely).

    That's not traditional and we are talking about tools and not fancy knives.

    Zero favorites. It was a job.

    I just make something from the head chef's menu.
