BIFL Quality Knives that Last
Herder is a higher hardness German knife with better edge retention. Thinner geometry so. Less wedging. French there are some incredible custom makers like Milan and Yanick Swiss, list of great custom Nordic makers like Isamedjan. Plus you have damasteel but it's very expensive and more for looks than performance Japanese again you have rough options but they're generally in the Japanese farmers markets. Knifejapan.com shows some of the more rustic options. You also have tanks like wide bevel nakagawa. I've got nothing for Spain other than the grind on polarres is mediocre Australia has some amazing custom smiths working in super steels like Newham but crazy prices Warther in the USA uses the super steel magnacut and is a solid budget.
