The HG VG10 Tsuchime Damascus is a great starter knife with more robust cutting feel thanks to the extra thickness this blade offers in the middle of the blade (not the spine). It offers both textured and Damascus finish in one, making it a worthy investment/gift for any cook.

Nakiri is a versatile blade that excels in processing large amounts of vegetables and the rectangular shape is also very useful to pick up all the chopped bits!
