My “one knife” recommendation

That’s OK. I’m especially interested in the systems of knives one develops and how they are used together.

Mine grew from a foundation of an American butcher knife and a Kai Seki Magoroku nakiri I was given when I was in Japan about 30 years ago.

That foundation has grown in very interesting ways since–as I’ve collaborated with a Japanese friend trying to adapt to the USA here in SOCAL.
