Hi everyone!

Been a long time lurker and finally decided to join the forums. I’m from Singapore and a home cook. Been fascinated by sharp knives for as long as I can remember.

So up till a couple of years back, I have been using cheap knives and at one point I snapped and decided to research on sharp knives. Then I found a couple of resources online and started getting into knives of harder steel. First decent knife I got was MAC TH-80 (the chef knife without the bolster) which was way better than what I was used to but somehow I was not completely satisfied.

Then I found JKI. Love Jon’s videos and really love the Gesshin Ginga on first sight, and I caved and got the 240mm Gyuto stainless both in yo and wa handle. Love them both! Jon’s customer service was impeccable. Will definitely return for future purchases.

Now I am just trying to brush up on my knife sharpening skills and likely to go down the rabbit hole in knife collecting.

Nice to finally be part of this group and a chance to learn from you all!

Everyone, many thanks for the warm welcome! Much appreciated!

Welcome to the forums! Wish I could spend more time in Singapore, the food is amazing.
Yeah, love the food range here indeed. Truly a “fried rice paradise “!

Welcome! You should grab some of Jon‘s stones as well!
I actually did get the Gesshin S&G 6000! Again, love it!

I don’t know if there is an “official knife”. But we generally use the typical Asian vegetable cleaver or nowadays as we become more international, there are people who uses the classic french chef knives.

I myself love the Gyuto profile but must admit I am looking around for a decent CCK vegetable cleaver.

Welcome! I love my cck 1102...

Are there any skilled local SG'an knife-makers? Maybe you could contact them about an upgraded clone of a CCK.
