Which do you use/prefer and why? I’m a home cook. My parents are currently in Japan and want to get me a knife for my birthday. I’ve never had any knife that wasn’t part of a knife block set, so I’ve never had an option. I know I want a santoku, but I’m in between CS and SS. Which would you recommend? Is the reactivity with CS over stated? I always dry and hone my knives immediately after use so that’s not an issue.

Thanks!
