Cause is hand made

Don't bother with too expensive hand made Japan knives.

Buy the German made Zwilling J. A. Henckel knives.
Buy the set (few knives) that is on offer. Good deal. Complete with wood knife block.
About $300 to $400. They will outlive you.

Furi knives also good.
Global knives also good.

Super sharp and forged multiple times in high grade steel.

Will the wooden knife block turn mouldy?

I’m using wusthof knives. For ja henckel, wusthof etc make sure to buy their made of Germany lines not the cheap made in China ones. Japanese knifes have sharper edge but more fragile blade, not so suitable for a lot of normal everyday cooking. German knives are stronger.

Real chef only need 1 knife.

Not sure.
Mould grows if you have moisture in the wooden knife block.
You can wash the knife block and clean with pipe cleaners.

If not comfortable, you can change the block every 5 years.
You can buy them from shops.

Clean and wipe dry knives before you slot them into knife bock.

Heavy knifes are good for chopping a variety, if u can only choose one type choose this.
Furthermore, u need a sharpener, do it once a week. very important for slicing.

If u use wooden block, remember to wipe it dry before slotting in.

Becaause they are perfectionist. Cleanu cut of the food is more efficient and also, bring out the flavour.

Just imagine doing origami with a sharp scissors compared to a blunt one.
