I figured maybe people could use a guide to "Bifl" Chef knives. I posted this a while back, but saw a few knife posts and thought people might find it useful. I used quotation marks for BIFL because when you sharpen a knife by definition you're taking off metal and yadda yadda yadda.
26$ Dexter Chef's knife. Functional chef's knife. Great for the price but I would just get the Victorinox. https://www.amazon.com/Dexter-Russell-P94802-Basics-Handle/dp/B0015AFZ7W/
35$ Victorinox chef knife. Amazing bargain. Sometimes can be seen for like 25 if you keep checking. Probably best overall deal in knives. https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Fibrox-Chefs-Knife-8-Inch/dp/B008M5U1C2/ref=sr_1_5
70$ Tojiro DP Gyutou Comes in various sizes, they're all great. I have a Shun and I have a Tojiro and functionally there is absolutely no difference. VG10 Steel. At this price point, holy crap. https://www.amazon.com/Tojiro-DP-Gyutou-8-2-21cm/dp/B000UAPQGS/
100$ Ferrum Reserve Chef's Knives This knife is amazing. I don't know a ton about the steel admitadly, but I got it somewhat more recently and just love it. Joy to hold in your hand and to use. There is also a matching paring knife which is also awesome. Keep in mind that it's got a wooden handle, so don't leave it in water or it'll warp and you'll probably need to oil it like once a year. It's just such a joy to hold in your hand, takes an edge really well and stays sharp for a good long time. https://www.cutleryandmore.com/ferrum-reserve/chefs-knife-p137130
300$ Kramer by Zwilling Carbon Steel Chef's Knive http://www.cutleryandmore.com/henckels-bob-kramer-carbon-steel/chefs-knife-p123477
400$ Kramer by Zwilling Stainless Damascus Chef's Knive I just love damascus steel. http://www.cutleryandmore.com/zwilling-ja-henckels-bob-kramer/stainless-damascus-chefs-knife-p132878
