Hisamoto Inox line is perfect for any cook who is looking for a durable blade that is going to withstand some mistakes that are bound to happen in a kitchen. These are great for culinary students, novice cooks wanting a no-fuss tool, and many others who are looking to not break the bank upgrading their knives. The edges of these blades also come fully hand done on natural stones which are rare in this price range. 

A chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility.
