hi folks,
im originally from Brisbane, spent a lot of time on the gold coast, and have now been in Indonesia for over 3 years now.
i dont have a collection of Japanese hand crafted knives as i've never had the need for them, but that doesnt mean i dont want some in the near future.
my favourite knife would be the elephant Sabatier, it has a wonderfully small handle and nicely weighted blade that in my hands allows me to do small cutting and also fish filleting with little effort.
up there for adaptability would be the chinese chopper, i love the chinese choppers for their ability to process vegetables on a smaller cutting board setup.... but if i do have the cutting board real estate then i enjoy to get active with standard push cutting technique on the chef knife.
sooooo... im considering that a santoku may be the next knife of choice, although i might also consider a Kiritsuke.
anyhows, thats enough rambling in the intro.. i hope i can share information with like minded folks who are as passionate about the benefits of well crafted knives that are fit for purpose.
