Maker	Type	Price	Blade Material	Length	Height	Weight	Handle Material	Website
Akifusa	Gyuto	$200>175	SRS-15	245	47	216	Pakka	https://zknives.com/knives/kitchen/ktknv/akifusa/akifusag240.shtml This was my first JK. SRS-15 takes a great edge and this knife has a good taper, before they lost that. Original owner, 15+ years, sharpened several times but never taking a lot of steel off.		I have had this one over a decade. It has been sharpened several times and the blade sanded. Original owner.​
Shun	Kiritsuke	$225>210	Blue #2 - Stainless clad	255	45	240	Pakka	https://www.knivesshipfree.com/shun-knives-shun-blue-kirisuke-10-vg0008/ This is one of the few Shun's that I think is worth getting. Has some surpising convexity to the grind. It's stainless clad Blue 2 that takes a good edge. A great knife really. Original owner, sharpened twice.		This has been a fantastic knife. Excellent cutter and takes and holds a solid edge. Real slicey. Original owner.​
Miyazaki Kajiya	Tsubaki	$150>SOLD	Blue 2 - Iron Clad	180	59	185	Burnt Oak	https://knifewear.com/products/miya...gami-stainless-kurouchi-tsuchime-hakata-180mm This was my first Bunka and their great. Miyazaki san is a talented smith. The cladding finish is quite durable. Original owner and sharpened twice.		My first bunka and I am sad to see it go. It has been sharpened a couple of times. His Blue 2 has been a joy to use. Original owner​
S. Tanaka	Gyuto	$175>165	Ginsan 3 - stainless clad	240	53.5	200g	TeaK and Horn	https://knivesandstones.us/collecti...hiji-gyuto-teak-handle?variant=43076236083447 Tanaka does a great job with Ginsan and his grinds are great performers. Great all arounder with good F&F. KNS purchased original owner and only touched up.		I love the grind on this one. Great all around knife that does everything quite well. Original Owner​
Shinko Seilan	Gyuto Kiritsuke Ktip	$185>SOLD	Aogami Super - iron clad	240	48	218	Ebony Wood and Horn	https://knivesandstones.us/collecti...r-gyuto-kiritsuke-ktip-240-mm-by-shiro-kamo-2 This is a great knife, I just have a lot of carbon k-tips. Shiro Kamo's fit and finish is excellent at this price point. His AS HT is solid. This has the upgraded K&S ebony handle to bring back the balance. Original owner, never sharpened.		This one is thin and a little flexy. I got an ebony handle to move the balance back a little. Original owner​
White Koi Workshop/Sold	Nakiri	$400-SOLD!!	Sandvik	180	70		Maple and Brass		Daniil Smirnoff	Daniel is a talented knife maker in Latvia. I saw his work and had to get one. I am not a nakiri guy and I thought this would change me. This is a spirit brother to my Nordquist.
MailletSPF	Bunka	$280SPF	Vintage Wrought over 26c3 SPF	175	50	148	Burnt Holm Oak	https://www.simonmaillet.com/collections/knives-available/products/bunka-175mm	Simon Maillet	I had intended to get this to do some stone work, but I decided against going down that rabbit hole. It has perfectly flat bevels and some great antique wrought cladding. I got this from @ok_mode. It is an excellent cutter but I have a ton of bunkas.​
Masakage Zero	gyuto	$435>410	Aogami Super with Stainless cladding	240	49	266	Brass, Ironwood, Mosaic Pins	https://knifewear.com/products/masakage-zero-gyuto-240mm#:~:text=If you want one knife,rock' their knife while cutting. I am the 2nd owner and bought this from another forum member. It has only been touched up, never sharpened. I have no problem keeping this one because it is awesome. I just have too many and deliberately decided not to "connect" with it.	Takeshi Saji	What else is there to say? This was about the thinnest way to try Saji's work and it did not disappoint. Shibata + Saji? Forget about it. It's a beaut and a performer to boot.
Manaka Sold!!!	Bunka Sold	$100 and sold	Blue 2	165	54	154	Walnut	https://knifewear.com/products/kisuke-manaka-shirogami-2-honwarikomi-kurouchi-tsuchime-bunka-165mm	Kisuke Manaka	I got this from another forum member. He had thinned it down and it cuts like a demon. This is the way to do this bunka. I also got a good deal so I am passing it on.​

Mazaki	Gyuto	$200>SOLD	Shirogami 2-Carbon clad	210	50	204	Ebony Wood and Horn	https://knivesandstones.us/products/mazaki-white-2-migaki-gyuto-210mm-2023 Original owner. This is a 2023 Mazaki with a nice F&F, softened spine and choil. This has the upgraded KNS ebony handle too. This one feels GREAT in the hand. Another one that I am ok not selling. It's a nice goldilocks knife.	Naoki Mazaki
Birch and Bevel - Withdrawn	Gyuto	$500 - available again​	Honyaki - Spicy White	230	53.75	173	Ebonized Oak and Stacked Birch Bark	I couldn't find this line with this specific handle posted.

Shigeki Tanaka's ginsan is excellent. Highly recommend that knife, I love mine. It's a great do-it-all midweight that had better food release than you'd suspect.

Ok, Adding a couple of more. They're getting sweet.

Mazaki	Gyuto	$200>185	Shirogami 2-Carbon clad	210	50	204	Ebony Wood and Horn	https://knivesandstones.us/products/mazaki-white-2-migaki-gyuto-210mm-2023 Original owner.

I am the first owner of the Mazaki. I got it from KnS and it's a 2023 Mazaki. It is carbon steel clad. I upgraded the handle to their Ebony one. Great knife, just redundant.

I am the 2nd owner of the Honyaki that bought here from another forum member. It is an absolute performer and so nimble. I haven't gelled with it deliberately. I will probably regret this one, but decisions must be made. It's got a nice Walkschliff grind. There some scratching near the spine about 5/6 of the way down, nothing major and would probably come right out. Not much of a patina has formed, it isn't super reactive.

100% agree. It's such a great one. I was trying it out and expecting to churn it, but it stayed with me for a while. I would be happy to keep it. His ginsan and grinds are great.
