I am new to this forum. I thought I knew a bit about knives but realized how little I know after coming here! I have had decent German Wusthof knives that I bought over 40 years ago and they are still in good shape but with my daughter not me! I live in Bangkok and up until now have been eating all meals except breakfast out at restaurants so I didn’t really need good knives. A recent stroke has caused me to start cooking again and I purchased a Sakai Takayuki Santoku with blue steel #2 core. I originally bought a Gyuto but it turned out to be a single bevel so I returned it. Now as I learn more I am wondering if it wasn’t really a 70/30 and I was too dumb to know! Anyway thanks for having me here. I have already learned enough to want more knives! Dangerous.
