Santoku Knife
Knives, I need info about them and sharpening them. Thank you!?
I would like to buy my boyfriend a nice gift and I know he likes knives, I have bought him a Henkle Santoku something I don’t know it was one 5 inch knife for like $80 so it better have been good, he said he liked it and it was very good. Anyways I would like to buy him something to sharpen and hone the knife. Also was thinking maybe buying him another knife. What would I buy that is very good quality for sharpening and honing and where would I find it. Plus what would be another knife he could get a lot of use? He loves to cook. I just want to buy the right thing and I will spend a bit of money but like say no more than $120 for both. We live in Orlando, FL. Thanks so much I have no clue with kitchen stuff.
Link to what I got him: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=13879290
Okay maybe like $120-160. Thanks! 
Buy him a 8" or 10" Chefs Knife. A Henkle or Wustof or Gerber, Profinox, Even a Victorianox knife will do.
As for honing and sharpening, you need tobuy him a steel...that is a long metal pole with a handle that you use to maintain the sharp edge. You can buy fine to coarse ones, I find that a medium grit one will do.
As for sharpening the knife, this take a lot of practice and beleive it or not but you can actually ruin the knifes edge if you don't know what your doing. Talk to your knife supplier about the different types of honing stones that are out there. A diamond based one is the best, but they tend to be costly.
Have fun cooking, and remember a Sharp Knife is a safe knife.
