In 2011, Kuro-uchi blades over 6.5 sun were priced at $46 per sun. Your knife would have cost $46 x 8.4 or $386.40. That figure probably undervalues your knife. Recently a 7.8 sun Kuro-uchi sujihiki with a custom handle sold for $450.
Hope this helped.

Carter charges exponentially more for knives over 6 or 7 sun. I guessed new replacement cost at around $1K before reading comments, but that is probably more in line with a gyuto.
Is Carter really any better than many other white #1 knives in the price range? He talks of thin but are they laser thin at the edge? And how are the grinds on his high-end fully finished knives? Just curious.

There is a 50% increase in price per sun for knives over 6.5 sun. Hardly exponential.
My last new knife from Murray was back in early 2012, so I can't speak to his current offerings, but the knives I've had of his are as thin behind the edge as any I've owned. His reputation is earned.
