First time buyer

Hi I’m jumping in with a new interest in Japanese knives… open to being steered to good convo threads here. Also have this pic and wonder if anyone knows the brand? Thanks for having me here.

Welcome.

The best way to start is by filling out this form and starting a new thread:

https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/new-knife-questionnaire.63548/
The form will make you think about some choices and may drive your research before starting your thread. There are TONS of options out there. A lot of us will encourage you to start modest and explore sharpening early.

For the knife, again, start a new thread asking for knife ID help.
