Can you post a pic? I have never seen or heard of them before.The Kuwabara White #2 210mm gyuto. Much thicker than any knife I own and cuts better than pretty much all of them.
The maker, and the sharpness. Usually the knife I sharpened most recently feels best. Also depends a lot on what you are cutting. If I would have to guess what I like best overall, it could still be the TF Denka.It's not the steel, it's the maker.
How's the SKD steel? I have never used it, hear its a real beast.Readily available? Yoshi SKD. 2nd place: Yoshi Stainless clad white. Wat blue KU is right up there as well.
Not so available? Devin aebl, Tillman Leder, Marko 52100, Harbeer Zwear, Haburn 52100, Martell 52100, and I'm just getting started. And no, they're not in any particular order.

Also my personal favorite if I go Semi or full stainless. Very good Edge retention and sharpens easily, pretty much stainless with little maintenance.How's the SKD steel? I have never used it, hear its a real beast.

Heiji semi-stainless is SKD, too. I like both SKD and ginsan a lot, but there's also bad examples so again, the maker is most important. Haven't used a Yoshikane SKD or SLD yet...Also my personal favorite if I go Semi or full stainless. Very good Edge retention and sharpens easily, pretty much stainless with little maintenance.
Yoshikane SKD, Takamura Chromax, Konosuke YS( Jusy my guess) are using those steels
