personal mission
why happyknife?
the ones familliar with me know I like to spend time in the kitchen.
even more so when there are sharp knives at hand.
it even got to the point where I pack a few of my own knives on holiday.
a friend introduced me to sharpening a long time ago.
since then I maintain my own kitchen knives by sharpening them
on traditional Japanese whetstones.
polishing is done by leather strop.
as time went on I stared getting requests from friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, (...).
would you sharpen mine as well? of course I will!
the reactions were so pleasant that I thought to myself...
it makes me happy, it make others happy.
maybe I can make even more people happy?
the process is honest, artisanal and sustainable.
in addition to my office job, where I use my head a lot,
I find it to be a very nice (almost meditative) occupation.
