Under your budget.
Victorinox/Forschner You won't get much better without spending three times that much. For 3X the Forschner you could get this. Shun A much better knife IMO. |

Here is a Japanese style Gyoto aka chefs knife thats within your budget. If you want to stay with a western style Amazon has some decent prices on Wusthof knives.

What features (ie full tang, stainless steel, etc) do you want? |

I've had my 10" Henckels for 22 years. Keeps a nice edge. Sharpens easily.

What features (ie full tang, stainless steel, etc) do you want? Mostly for prep work...meat and veggies and occasional carving. Would like it to be fairly heavy. Full tang. Preferably not a wooden handle. I took a chance on this but it doesn't hold an edge well and the blade flexes way to much. Dissapointed.... Schmidt Brothers Cutlery, STICH08, Titan 8 Inch Chef Knife http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00683IJVA/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I know I am asking a lot out of a sub 100.00 knife. I could go with a 9 or 8". How bout the blades that are notched...for lack of a better word...supposed to make the blade cut easier thru food. |

I run a BBQ Joint and for my kids and my employees I run the Victornix/Forschner, but my personal knives are Shun's I use them at BBQ comps and in the kitchen. hand down better.... but If I lost one I would be pissed... when the Forschner not so much. So either will work nothing wrong with the Forschner's just not in the same class and the Shuns Clint |

You gotta work a little harder to keep them sharp, but they're tough and you won't cry too much if someone decides to use it for a prybar. |

The Fujiwara knives are good. For under a $100 you could pick up a Tojiro DP gyuto, VG-10 steel and really well made. Probably among the best bang-for-the-buck knives out there.

You really can't beat the Dexter Russell sani safe line for the price. You can probably pick one up for 35-40 bucks
I have a 10" DR sani safe cooks knife that I yanked from my parents house 10 years ago when I was just starting out on my own. My dad in turn yanked it from one of his restaurants probably 10 years before that. It's still going strong. I imagine it will for the next 10 years too. I also have a good selection of DR knives for fishing. Splitters, filet knives, breaking knives. |

i use one of these daily:
global g-19 27cm (about 11in) it does literally anything i need it to do; skin fish, dice anything, clean tenderloins, carve meat, anything. it is a little out of your budget, but well worth it.
