Does Anybody Here Use Japanese Kitchen Knives?

I use a Wustoff santoku. It's my go-to for almost everything.

Just curious. I bought my first recently. A Nakiri for all the fruit and veggies that seem to dominate my knife skillz. I've got some decent knives for the carnivore in me, but the delicate stuff was missing a tool. Although in my moment of indecision, I got an entry level, the thought is to upgrade in short order. Even though it was quite sharp out of the box, I put it on a couple of sharpening stones (1K & 4K) and is now crazy sharp.

Tojiro Shirogami Nakiri 165mm

So, how about you?

I like this one. Think I may need to get one to use as a reflector for a strip soft box.

I have just one knife I bought from Japan that I used for meats.

Since the Itto-Ryu gyuto, I've acquired the same knife maker with his 175mm Nikiri and another maker for my 150mm Petty knife..... Masakage Yuki.
Itto-Ryu Hammered White #2 Nakiri 175mm
Masakage Yuki Petty 150mm

I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.
