In search of interesting high quality steak knives.

I eat a lot of steak/chicken and I would like some more flair to my knives. I looked on Amazon and Online but all I could find was either basic looking stuff or garbage like Hussk. Does anyone know of a site which sells high quality interesting steak knives?

One of the more Underrated Kizer Designs in the last year, IMO

Kizer Bulldog, 154cm in (used to be) Gray Micarta. Kizer has been killin’ it on the budgetish edge of the knife world.

Raw. Naked. Shiny. Like that one time, at the water park, when I decided to do the fastest waterslide without any trunks.

ISO:Custom BM Adira scales

Good morning all, was wanting to see if anyone on here makes Custom G10 scales. I love my Adira but I think it’d feel amazing with some G10 scales.

Need some advice on wedding registry chef knives.

Howdy all. I'm getting married in about a year and I want to put some knives on my registry as an opportunity to get some upgrades. I could use some advice on what's decent to put on there.

Context about me. Semi avid home chef. I'm cooking/meal prepping 3-5 times a week depending on the week. My current workhorse is a $30 amazon Nakiri style knife. It's basically my go to for all ingredients prep. Sharpening skills: few to none. I'm interested in developing them but I won't be developing them on new nice knives lol. Male, standard sized hands, usually buy gloves in a large if that gives any context for handle needs.

What I'm looking for: I absolutely love the Nakiri blade shape. I've gotten used to it over the last 5 years or so and reach for it basically everytime I need to cut something. The one exception is trimming fruit/veggies with a pairing knife. I'd love some suggestions for good Nakiri or pairing knives that are under $100 each but I'm flexible on the price to an extent.

What kind of brand/specif model recommendations do you all have?
