I know that some know of these cheap knives but new members may not.
Kiwi knives are cheap knives available from Asian supermarkets, are hollow ground and sharpen up scary sharp.
One shape in particular is the santoku. It's a very handy kitchen knife. If you get a few years out of them your doing well.
Due to the hollow grind they eventually loose there honing points.
I found out about them a few years ago when I was in the kitchen of a large Gold Coast Chinese restaurant doing fire inspections and noticed a dozen cooks using them and made an enquiry as to what they were.
Here is the shape I found most useful.
