Kaeru at JNS. Ridiculous performance at that price. I sold mine but know I can get another.

I've seen Kagekiyo and Tetsujin ginsan gyutos go for $300 or less on BST recently, both are Myojin ground, nice dimensions, and should be serious performers. Would also second @Knot Handcrafted and also throw in the Skye Eilers production gyuto as a nice option if you don't mind a synthetic handle.

Kurotori makes some solid stuff in Ginsan. You can order through a proxy service or Michael at KJ can help.
They do custom stuff as well and I've seen them make a couple of ginsan cleavers in the past

Can’t go wrong with either of these or @Skye Eilers Knives

Used all 3 back to back just yesterday and they’re all fantastic in their own ways.

Gesshin stainless is a great <$150 budget option that I still enjoy using. Tsunehisa is also great.
