You will recognize *professional* equipment by being ugly (because true professionals (I do not mean celebrity chefs here) do not buy pretty things, they buy things that can survive heavy use 14 hours a day, 7 days a week), highly functional, sturdy, with thick handles.
The knife is manufactured by Hendi and it is ordinary 12 inch knife with ugly, coarse, plastic handle, that doesn't slip even if your hands are wet or covered in grease. Blade is from a good steel that holds edge well. Price under 10 Euro.
I have also purchased generic diamond coated sharpener, that works like magic. (2.99 Euro for set of three)
