Hello everyone,
I'm from northern Europe. I've been fascinated with sharp knives for a while as I always loved to cook. I'm a home cook and usually that kind of friend that comes to make dinner at your house to show recipes I discovered, make all Christmas dishes at my moms place, make eye pleasing things for friends birthdays. Cooking is my hobby and I really enjoy it. Lately I developed more detailed interest in japanese knives. I have owned japanese factory made knives from Satake and lower end Kai before, but I want to get into the authentic knife world and learn sharpening tips and eventually own a nice knife collection with all kinds of japanese knives I wish to use.
I bought my first japanese handmade knife - a Takeshi Saji rainbow damascus gyuto 240mm Blue steel #2 last week, waiting for it to arrive now. I got camellia oil and rust scrubber with it. Looking forward to learn tips to keep this knife in best condition for as long as I can and hopefully some help in future to fill my collection with slightly lower end knives than the Saji. That one got me by its authenticity and beauty. I wish to participate in the buyer section of this forum in future too.
