Hi, I’m not a professional chef or anything, but I've long had a hobbyist interest in all kinds of knives, including a small but high quality Japanese knife collection. I have some redundancy in blade types/lengths, but they are all daily users. I'm a big patina fan and a little scratch or bump here and there doesn't bring tears to my eyes anymore like it once did. It’s a pleasure to join KKF with a real account, and I hope to share reviews, photos and learn with everyone!
