Hello!

On the personal side: I am French, but I live in Germany since 8 years. I am a researcher in bioinformatics, proud father of two, jazz amateur, good food and wine lover (french cliché), I bake (sourdough bread), I cook, I cut a lot of ingredients with my knives. I am a leftie, which is quite a pain in the knife world.

On the knife side: here is my current set
- Hattori HD Gyuto 240
- Konosuke GS Gyuto 240
- Shibata Kotetsu R-2 Gyuto 240
- Wakui W#2 Hairline Gyuto 210mm (custom handle)
- Hattori FH Santoku
- Takeda AS santoku
- Fujiwara Teruyasu nakiri (custom handle, would like to sell/trade it)
- kurosaki megumi nakiri
- Kitaoka left-handed Deba W2
- Hiromoto petty 120 (left grinded)
- Masakage Yuki 300 mm sujihiki



On the sharpening side:
- I use a bit whetstones (1000/4000 grit from JCK)
- I use mostly a Wicked Edge (gen II), diamonds stones, all the ceramics, strops (1µm and 0.5µm). I would like to get whetstones for the wicked edge, but it is too expensinve.
I would like to learn more on this side.


I am looking forward exchanging on this forum with all of you!
