Can I get a decent chef's knife for <$30?

[Slvgx]

I use a Spyderco Santoku in the kitchen, it is the only kitchen knife my roommate and I use, we love it. There is one on eBay right now for $31, so only a tad over budget.

If you want to get him a Santoku Forshner has one for like 22.00 from SMKW http://www.eknifeworks.com/webapp/eCommerce/product.jsp?Mode=Text&SearchText=f41528&SKU=F41528

Heres a Rosewood handle one for 32.00:
