I'm going to get one for my dad for his birthday, and man you want to talk about a giant group of alpha autists. These fuckers are having full on internet slap fights about their little peices of metal that they use to open plastic bags and cut some tape. There are pages of talk about blade hardness. Like I get well crafted not cheap parts but holy poo poo I need someone to tell me a knife that will not go dull in 3 days or snap in half cutting open a box not comparative dissertations on the edge retention compared to corrosion resistance of certain steel formulas. also I need a stiff drink.

Cold Steel forges blades for experts in the art of knifejitsu. They're pretty intense. I'd just recommend a Benchmade.

If you're looking for a kitchen knife the GWS thread has good advice. Dexter, CCK, and Tojiro are some of the favorites. Chefknivestogo.com was the favored site but their prices have gone up a lot. For pocket knives you can't go wrong with spyderco.

here's a good idea: tell us what he needs the knife for and we can give some recommendations. also your price range. if it's a knife unrelated to woodcarving, go gently caress yourself because i dont know many other things

Oh I didn't want actual suggestions I just wanted to say how stupid knife people are on the internet I'm sorry if there was confusion.

but if you care I ordered a Benchmade Contego because it looked comfortable to use. I'm sure I picked the wrong knife because it's not made of titanium infused diamond steel or some such poo poo.

Europeans don't even know how to use knives, their culture barely understands forks. The Chinese chef knife is the perfect kitchen knife. Sorry if your baby hands can't handle that much girth; they must not be used to it.

long knives aren't that scary just don't be a retard and handle them with care

spend like 15-30 minutes watching youtube videos of chefs telling you how to use it and you're set for home cooking (which granted you probably don't need 12" for)
