I have a Kershaw Shun 10" chef and 4" paring knife set that has lasted longer than all of my relationships put together (~20 years). I sharpen them on a 1000 grit stone. The wood handle still sits seamless with the pommel, and they will cut through paper loosely held. I keep them in simple leather sheaves that I crafted myself.

Point being, I think any good quality Japanese chef knife has the potential to be BIFL.
