For less than half the cost of that Al-Mar, you can get a similar Global knife. They harden to around 58 HRC, which is in between the usual hardnesses for German and Japanese knives. No damascus unfortunately, but the knives look pretty cool on their own. They use a super high chromium steel, so they are all but impossible to rust, meaning that, combined with the one piece handle, if the knife were to make it into the dishwasher or left in a sink, it would be minimally damaged.
Edit: Here are two, one with a narrower paring-shaped blade and one with a wider, slightly santoku-like blade.
