New Member, Aaron Here

New member here, I'm Aaron. I'm an electrical engineering major at the University of Central Florida and new to the world of high end kitchen knives. About a year ago I really got into cooking and since then I have tried to learn as much as I could about it. I started off with a single Chinese made grocery store 8" chefs knife that was pretty much useless. I quickly decided to replace it and got a 5" Chicago Cutlery Partoku knife that was a big step up, but still nothing great. After that I decided to do some research and get something good. I ended up getting a Messermeister 8" chefs and a 4" Paring along with a ProTeak cutting board.



Now I'm looking into getting some carbon steel Japanese knives and getting into the world of sharpening and maybe even knife making.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to seeing you all in the forums.

Welcome aboard!

Hey Aaron, welcome to the rabbit hole. I hope you don't have acquisition disorder.

Welcome. (And good luck with EE; it's what I first majored in, before deciding I didn't like it.)
