Hi, Dan here from Hong Kong

[Dan E]

Hi everyone,

I am Dan currently residing in Hong Kong. I've been attracted to knives for a long time but just don't know enough, so I hope to learn from the experts here in the community.

Best regards

Welcome. Any favorite Hong-Kong'ish knives?

Great question, I’m trying to find good local stuff as well. If anyone has recommendations I’d be very happy

 

[TRPV4]

Welcome! There are a few retailers here like KTH or Syoukon.

Wow that’s pretty awesome, thanks or they recommendations! I had no idea KTH had such an excessive selection.

do you happen to know whether they still offer sharpening services?

Dan

Hi Dan E,
Welcome to the forum from another Hong Kong member.

 

[Dan E]

Hi everyone! thanks for welcoming -- I had no clue there were so many people here form HK.

@TRPV4 Thanks man, that would be great. I bought my first knife just a couple of days ago, but have no clue / no equip to keep my knives sharp and serviced. Not sure how to get started there as well without ruining the blade.

@TRPV4
Hey, if you plan to show members in HK how to sharpen well, I wouldn't mind joining if time permits.

Welcome to KKF

 

[TRPV4]

I’m far from qualified to teach anyone how to sharpen, except for absolute beginners @tchan001. If there’s a meetup, maybe you can play with my nats instead

@Dan E what knife did you end up getting?

 

[Dan E]

I got the Yoshikane black damascus the other day. Beautiful knife so far, it is my first one. I attached some pics below

 

[Honyaki]

Oh where from?

 

[Dan E]

epic edge has/had it in stock

[Dan E]

Thank you very much - I will definitely reach out next time

 

[LAB]

Would be great if we can have a session in Hong Kong! Absolute newbie here

 

[Boatboy]

Count me in for any meet up, Dan I’m jealous, I joined onSunday and got one welcome from the HK crowd courtesy Shirogami

 

[LAB]

Me too! Got a customary welcome by staff...
Hope that we can make this work...

 

[TRPV4]

Also there are quite a few of you joining from HK, is anyone sending you guys over?

 

[LAB]

Virus, Work from home, cooking more at home.
Also, I am moving to my own place in a few months time.
Finally I have a proper workspace in my new kitchen, not the tiny A4 space for cutting in normal HK kitchens.

This forum consistently pops up in my researches, so I thought I should just join. Pretty Organic

After a few google searches for higher end Japanese knives/ independent makers you inevitably come across some forum discussion that covers most of the bases and then some. Clearly a lot of experts on the forum...so becomes natural.
