Welcome mate. What are you interested in?
Really silly/ignorant question here: So, learning how to sharpen a knife etc... how would that make me want a particular knife more than others? I know that sounds silly... and to be honest and as much as I'd hate to admit it, a lot of what I would be looking at would have to do with visual aesthetics, blacksmiths etc... sorry if that question sounds stupid. LOLWelcome. Let me suggest a gear shift, with a focus on sharpening. Don't have to become a master by any stretch and don't be intimidated. Then when you go back to ogling knives, you'll have a much deeper understanding of what you truly value in a blade.

Yeah, that’s fair. I’m pretty much ready to go as I’ve got my stones ready etc. and have kept some crappy old knives to practice on for now. LolNot stupid at all. First, all of these knives will need to be sharpened sooner or later. So even if you don't want to venture into it yourself, you're going to need a plan. I do believe however, that doing it yourself brings a deeper understanding of the steel, the design, etc. It is surely not necessary.
