    Thanks, folks. I followed the scent from B&B over this way. The Mess Hall is mostly where I hang out over there.

    To celebrate my KKF membership, I bought 165 Takeda Classic Nakiri that should be arriving today. Ok, it's more that I've been giving myself one nice knife a year before Thanksgiving as a way to reward myself for all the cooking I do over the holiday season .

    The Takeda is my first serious Japanese knife. Let's not count some of my previous flings with Globals. I was young! :)

    I've been lurking a bit here because, honestly, you guys are into some freaky stuff! Even though I don't make custom handles, or sayas, or cutting boards, I have fun with--and have crazy respect for--my kitchen knives. I might mess around and make a saya for this nakiri, who knows. Mostly, I love to cook and caring for your knife simply goes with that. I enjoy learning about--and decoding the lingo around--this world of Japanese knives. I'm also new to appreciating carbon steels in general. I recently brought a vintage forged Dexter 10" carbon back to life. While it's not the most elegant knife, I do have a feeling of connection with it, and that's what I enjoy.

    Other than my life with knives, I'm married and raising two little girls, one is 3 years and the other is 4 months, and I design softare in California.
