Want:

-Some 240-270 (semi) stainless Gyuto with a small octagon handle - can't decide between Grand Chef Wa, Ashi, Aritsugu A type
-A 150 petty of the same style - should be thin.
-The longest, sharpest yanagi that is still in the $200 ish range - for pastry/gluten/raw seitan work. It seems such are plenty if willing to import from japan, scarce/costly in Europe.
-Another R2 or VG10 or SB1 180ish laser - Schanz slimline (but would need another handle), Shibata Kotetsu?
-A Takagi ... and the time and nerves for such a project
-A heavier, definitely shinogi-lined nakiri - Watanabe, Kamo, Takeda?
-Another stainless Ko-Deba/Ajikiri as a travel knife
-A thin Kamo
-A Takamura Chromax
-A plain, white steel Mukimono - Watanabe? Sakai Takayuki?
-A yakushika cleaver just for the lulz (I do not hunt)

Now how to fight the understanding I can do with what I have anyway? :)

OK, not to be derailing the thread to much, owning and using (omitted stuff I don't like using and wouldn't recommend :) :

-Goko 210mm W#1, 12-14dps no micro - allrounder
-Ryusen VS-102, kept at the rather obtuse (~15/20dps) factory angle - stainless, laser-y allrounder
-Anryu W#2 suminagashi santoku, kept around 15dps, no micro -nimble, thin, sharp
-FRKZ ZDP 165 petty, microbeveled - precision tool..
-Sakon AS migaki nakiri, microbeveled - if things need to be in strips now
-Tojiro FD-570, thinned heavily - favorite peeler and zester
-Tojiro FD-571, thinned heavily - favorite soft fruit handler
-Tojiro F-902 - "thunk!"-y deba, still think it is rather versatile...
-Takamura R2 180mm, 9-10dps - if really really sharp is needed
-Nakagoshi 165mm W#2 edo usuba - very light cheap usuba
-Kumagoro 185mm ?? kama usuba (yep, the kochland one) - a heavy usuba
-"Tosa Kajiyamura" B#2 kawamuki - nice "mini-cleaver"
-"Jade Temple" stainless chinese cleaver - listing this cheap one because after a lot of thinning, it is surprisingly resilient
-Kiwi #840 - ultimate beater
-Vietnamese "Khau"
-Samura AUS-10 210mm chef - for anything that I find too acidic, hot, cold, risky to use anything expensive on...

Well, I've made over 200 sayas for my own personal knives, and didn't get into to that for several years after my rabbit hole venture. I'm not even going to begin to try and make a list, but it will be fun to see others.

200 sayas ah?? well that's a different level. I have no idea myself but trying to compile a is now and while it's a nice memory lane no way I can remember all. Specially if I go back to the KF days

The reality is that now I don't have much time to enjoy these... I do admire the craftsmanship, pride, and what goes into making these.
May need to address our problem with a very nice bottle of something, since you are in LA.

I doff my cap to you. Killer collection.
 
Reading this thread, I feel pretty successful about my collection trimming. So successful that I just bought a knife to celebrate.
 
A few things about this thread:

Very impressed with peoples collections and memory.
I feel much better about the number of knives I've owned and sold.
I have a Doi Takobiki I'd part with.

For my part your video on working knifea inventory from a few years ago, wasn't completly innocent of leading to the current situation....
Good luck with the sale.
 
OMG, now it turns into marriage enabling...

We need some "my sushi's became so good my bed's never empty anyway, so why marry?" stories to stem this tide...
