Now that's a knife!

Please, a little advise from the Mexican Kitchen!

Our son is a chef, currently living and working in Melbourne Australia.

This year I wanted to plan ahead and get him a unique handcrafted Mexican gift for his birthday.

I have heard of the Ojeda family in the village Sayula, south of Guadalajara's.
They are reputed to be outstanding knife makers for many generations.
But I don't know much more about them than that.

So a few questions before we go to the trouble of driving over from Patzcuaro.
Does anyone on this board have knives from them?
I would love to hear what you think of them.

Any chefs or foodies out there with a recommendation for the right handcrafted knife for a young chef?

Thanks.

Todd
