Looks like 240mm sujihiki are the least popular knives on here (but maybe my favorite to use) so lemme throw some more out there.
Kemadi monosteel bulat 227x51
Probably the best steel I’ve ever used. Doesn‘t stain readily, takes a wicked sharp bitey edge easily, retains it longer than AS or R2, and the bevel doesn’t seem to be getting any higher from the few sharpenings it’s had. I never reach for the heavy ones anymore though (227g) so here it is. The bevels may look a little concave from the choil shot but I’ve checked with a straightedge and they are convex. $450
Heiji tall suji/gyutohiki, 242x40. Carbon, Iwasaki/spicy white. It was a custom order for someone else, not something that’s usually available. Bevels are flat and take polish well, but for whatever reason it’s gotten very little use. $300
OUL before it was Hado, Yamatsuka ginsan which is definitely my favorite treatment of it. 225x44. Got it from labor of love, he used it a lot and put some great geometry on it. Excellent line knife for a grill station or for a chef; I have the same shape and size in a carbon non-wide bevel and decided I like that better. $200
