    Unless you want to learn everything about Japanese knives the victoriaknox fibrox is the best in terms of value for a western style chef knife.

    It’s sharp out of a box, decent steel with decent edge retention, very comfortable handle and good geometry and thinness so it passes through ingredients very easily. I wouldn’t seriously consider most other knives unless they are Japanese style knives (what I use) or a certain shape that you want.

    It’s only 30$. It sounds too good to be true but most of the characteristics of a good knife purely come from good design (comfortable handle, blade geometry, thinness, etc).
