I am a career knife sharpener and former kitchen professional from Portland, OR. I'm happy to finally engage with this site (what took me so long?) and see what y'all are up to.
Hi, I'm Gyuto (and I'm pretty surprised this handle was still available)

Welcome to the forums.
Thinking about it, Iguess I'm kinda surprised that your handle was still available too.
Do you have any nice knives to show off?

I’m also surprised that handle was available, but I won’t be Petty about missing it. 
Welcome to the forums! Some great knife makers in both the kitchen and folding knife worlds in your neck of the woods

Not surprising at all! @Knife is also available. As is @Food and @kitchen knife. And @steel and @Metal and @Whetstone.
The real question is, what length are you?

What handle
Nice to have another pro sharpener/ex chef on the forum. So many rabbit holes to go down in this place, some really well informed opinions (occasionally) can be found (if you hunt and hunt)
Now I wanna be @suji....

Welcome to the rabbit hole, though from that wall of steel it looks like you’re a seasoned adventurer.
I’m in PDX as well, and still in the “trying to get my lantern lit” phase of my J knife journey lol. Been reading (and salivating) a lot, and sharpening my ****** knives a lot, and working up the courage to take the plunge.
This place is wild. My latest read was the old thread about @Kippington’s development of the “Hook grind”. Highly recommend it.

welcome!
maybe i just like punishing users, but i think it makes sense to blacklist generic usernames like this at registration (knife, blade, gyuto, santoku, nakiri, whetstone, shapton, etc).
not saying you should change your name. you snagged it fair and square!
but i would have pre-empted it if i were the admin.

This is a username I've been using on other platforms for years, so I'm not just being cheeky here. I genuinely hoped for this name, and somehow got it!
Welcome, I am from Portland as well. I am just north in Woodland, WA now but spent most of my years in P-town
