My wife is a home chef and since marrying me has become a knife enthusiast. I'd like to get her a nice 3-5 piece set for the kitchen that is as aesthetic as it is functional. This niche of knives is out of my wheelhouse so I am hoping for suggestions. Looking to land between $300-700 and have 3-5 knives including at least a chef's knife, a pairing knife, and a carving knife. I'm leaning more towards a Japanese style or something with a hammered or Damascus blade as that is her visual preference.
I've been browsing KnifeWorks, TheForgedBlade and SharpKnifeShop but other suggestions of places to look would be appreciated.
