Help me buy a Japanese Knife…

Hey, I am traveling to Japan next week April 2025, and will be visiting Osaka, Kyoto & Nara. NOT TOKYO

I would like to buy a knife, it will be my first Japanse Knife. And currently I use all sorts of budget stainless steel knifes.

  1. My budget is $100 USD max and looking for a Gyuto. My concerns are,
  2. There are many knife shops that are being run by non-japanese people, and are mostly rip-offs.
  3. A lot of shops are mostly tourist traps.
  4. I want authentic Japanese knife, and it should last long, and should not rust.

Fellow redditors please help me with buying a great Gyuto, at a reasonable price. Thanks!
