Newbie

Hi everyone! I'm from Singapore and new to knives.

Recently I'm just like bitten by a king cobra with knives and Jnat poison. I hope the poison doesn't kill me too soon.

I have JCK knives I bought 6-7 years ago but recently I started to get more interested. Since November last year, I bought knives from Kyocera, Tojiro, some cheaper Japanese hand made knives and then to Sukenari, Mizuno Tanrenjo and T. Fujiwara. Not really to part with my money for Shigefusa yet but very tempted to.:O

For stones, I started buying MAC honing steel and leather strobes before Suehiro, Atoma, King and Naniwa initially. For the past 2 weeks, I have been looking at Jnats. In fact I've just acquired a whitish Ohira Range Suita a few minutes before I type this.:wink::wink:

Welcome to the forums.

It sounds like you have a serious envenomation 😁

I hope it is not fatal.

I think that the only cure is to buy more knives. Then more stones. Then more knives. Then.... you get the picture 😁

Welcome to the forum. Do not listen to Nemo - he is evil... even if he's right. 😁

Thanks Marek07. I actually agree with Nemo. It's better to just buy than having sleepless nights thinking whether to buy or not.

Well, you are ahead of me... I borrowed a Jnat and it was an eye opening experience. I am still looking to improve my sharpening skills and max out my knife and stones potential.

Nice to see a fellow Singaporean around!
