I have a nice Yoshihiro 2.4cm Gyuto in VG10/nickel Damascus. This one has a hammer finish above the shinogi line. It's a great knife - takes and holds a keen edge. I tried it for a month but prefer Wa style handles. $125 shipped/p'pal'd.
Not a bad knife at all. One of the younger guys at work has the 210mm version. It sharpens easily for vg10 and hold it's edge well. quite a bit better than say the tojiro. Less chippy as well.
