Please specify the blade you like or size knife and any other information that you can offer in your request for quicker and more efficient reponses. 

If you would like a recommendation for a gift, please tell us if the gift is going to a professional chef or home cook, when the gift is needed, and the budget range for your gift so we don't quote you prices for a $2000 knife when you are thinking about a $200 knife.
