I need a new santoku. My last one, a cheap Hampton Forge Tomodachi, disappeared last week at work. I forgot it one night, and when I came back in the next evening it was gone. I'm pretty sure I know who took it, but he's no longer employed, and he wouldn't admit to it, even if it was an accident (He brought in and used the other knives from the same Tomodachi set, and took them when he walked out mid-shift).
I'm a prep cook and used this knife every day for fruits and veggies, I hand-sharpened it myself and rarely let anybody else use it. I liked the HF Tomodachi because it was green, so it stood out among the rest of the generic food service knives and everybody knew it was mine. It was also very light weight, and easier to handle.
Can anybody recommend a similar (or better) knife for a max of about $30? I need something that's thin, lightweight and a santoku-style blade.
