Spec me a knife £50-60

[gcaster]

Sorry for another spec me thread but as above really. I was cooking pork belly on Friday evening and in our kitchen we don't have a single knife sharp enough to cut into the skin.
As much as I'd love a Global/Wusthof etc knife I can't really spare £100 for a knife at the moment.

Any recommendations for around half that?
Also, any recommendations for shops in London where I could try a couple for feel?

They're not my knives. I'd rather buy a decent knife than sharpen my landlords Ikea beauties....

I was thinking invest in a decent knife now and a Minosharp thing when it goes blunt. They seem pretty fail proof.
I do see you're point but would quite like something shiny as a little treat!
